The record
Cut over a single April week at EmArcy, this set catches her sliding from a near-whisper to full brass-toned power without seeming to strain. Ballads and uptempo numbers land with the same casual precision.
Contemporary reception

Pressings
We hold no US original-era LP for this title. The earliest copies listed are both from 1956 and both foreign -- a Canadian EmArcy MG 36089 in mono and a Brazilian EmArcy 30009 -- with an Australian Mercury MG 36089 in 1957. Everything after that is a reissue: Mercury Wing SRW 16237 from 1962, the UK Fontana FJL 129 in 1966, and EmArcy's 2024 mono reissue of MG 36089.
