Deja Vu Retro Gold Collection

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Notes

Yet another one of these budget "scramble it all together" compilation.
Newcomers may of course find the material enjoying (after all, it's not that bad ;)), but there are way better sampler out there, and any serious collector can probably stay away from this.
Note that set predates the two first discs of "Millenium Anthology" (disc 1 of it as the 12 first tracks of this, disc 2 of it as the 12 first tracks of the other disc in this set).
Licensing status for either Millenium or this quite unclear.

Issues

There is a small doubt whether I'll Chase the Blues Away is from June 12 or October 12 1935. If you have additional information, please contribute them.
