Peter Johnson Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I actually have Ron's copy...got it when I broke into his basement because I needed a place to stay when I couldn't get home last night due to the SEPTA strike.

gmonahan Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The Commodores are great...but...how can you not LOVE the Deccas?! Billie's classic ballads! Absolutely essential, IMHO! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 For anyone in the London area, FOPP in Covent Garden had a few copies of the Sony Legacy Billie Holiday 'Complete Columbia' box for 10 pounds (less than $15) when I was there last week. Picked up a copy myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Import CDs, on Amazon Marketplace, now has this box at $19.06 plus shipping. Pretty amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Btw, there's a mistake on the big Columbia box... snip… "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" (session with Jonah Jones and Ben Webster) - instead of the alternate take, at the end of the set where the collected alternates are located, the master take is sequenced again.I'm bumping this six year old thread if nobody minds.I found a quote from a 2002 review/analysis of the 2002 10 CD Sony set. Quoted here from a post to the Miles Davis list-serve (aka "The Miles Digest"), June 2002:- Quote - Jazz Journal states that the missing tracks are: 20507-1 I've got my love to keep me warm (from "The Golden Years Vol 2")23468-1 I've got a date with a dream (from the Lester Young Story Vol 2) This set includes take 2 twice!!31005-3 Gloomy Sunday (from God Bless the Child) It also omits: 29987-3 Let's do it and 29988-4 Georgia on my mind which are both incomplete tracks on Queen disc Q-065.- end quote - 2015 Questions: I've read a lot of differing information about errors/omissions in the 2002 set. Has anybody found a reliable and up-to-date analysis that has the final word about this? For instance, were some of the omissions purposely done by Sony/the producers? Does the 2009 Sony Europe reissue box of the 2002 10CD set contain the exact same "errors"?Thanks, John  Edited August 10, 2015 by jdw re-sized the font Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think I have the 2009 Sony Europe reissue. Â It looks like this:There is only one take of "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" on this box. Â It's track 13 on disc 2. Â No alternate. Â Regarding "I've Got A Date With A Dream," although the track on disc 4, track 23 is 2:44 and the track on disc 8, track 22 is 2:42, they sound to me like the same recording. Â There's no special mention in the booklet regarding either of these songs. Â Regarding "Gloomy Sunday," the box contains 31005-1 and 31005-2, not 31005-3.

miles65 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 This seems to be the best informed site about Lady Day. http://www.billieholiday.be/ It claims 12 takes are missing from this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Amazing site! Beautifully thought out, very usable... Thanks for the link, Miles65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l p Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 all the questions were recently addressed in another thread, except for the 29988-4 Georgia on my mind on Queen disc Q-065. the only source for 4 takes seems to be schapp's 1995 discography in the back of one of the bio books.all other discographies list 3 takes, and one fake. i.e. http://www.jazzdisco.org/billie-holiday/discography/ it seems that Queen disc Q-065 has 2 identical takes listed as takes 3 and 4.  I'm bumping this six year old thread if nobody minds.I found a quote from a 2002 review/analysis of the 2002 10 CD Sony set.

Olie Brice Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The last two tracks of this incredible box set feature a band with Tatum, Pettiford, Catlett, Eldridge and Bigard. Unless I'm going mad, there's someone playing guitar as well, but they aren't credited... anyone know who it is?
