Import from UK. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Gate-fold cover looks great, a few creases near edges; light scuffing and faint surface impressions (front/back/inner-gate). Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is easy-to-read, with mild wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edges and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
A Portrait of, by Ella Fitzgerald, features singles like Mack the Knife (No. 27 Billboard Hot 100 and No. 19 UK), Desafinado, (No. 38 UK) and But Not for Me (No. 25 UK). Fitzgerald found musical success with the Chick Webb Orchestra, performing across the country. She left the band in 1942 to start her solo career. Her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and The Ink Spots were some of her most notable acts outside her solo career. Fitzgerald's accolades included 14 Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts, the NAACP's inaugural President's Award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
