Best Of Arthur Prysock

LP (Item 557646) Verve, Early 60s — Condition: Sealed
Features early hits from his Old Town years!
(Mono MGM pressing.)

Sealed

This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Verve, Mid 60s. Sealed
Genius! It's hard to go wrong with Arthur Prysock in the 60s – and an album like this is key proof of why he was one of the best male singers of his generation – even if nobody seems to remember that now! There's a mix of darkness in with the bold, adult, masculine approach here ... LP, Vinyl record album

Billie Holiday

Unforgettable Lady Day
Verve, Late 40s/1950s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
A very nicely done compilation of great work by Billie Holiday – featuring tracks recorded for Norman Granz from 1949 to 1957, in small group sessions with players like Joe Newman, Paul Quinichette, Barney Kessel, Ben Webster, and Willie Smith. The tracks have appeared elsewhere on other ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ella Fitzgerald

Whisper Not
Verve, 1966. Near Mint-
A groovier batch of tunes than usual for Ella – especially compared to most of her Verve recordings! Ella's getting backed here by Marty Paich and orchestra – in a mid 60s swinging mode that has a nice degree of kick to it, and which shows that Ella's able to groove like some of the ...

Anita O'Day & Cal Tjader

Time For Two
Verve, 1962. Near Mint-
A great little meeting of two of the better talents on Verve Records in the early 60s – one that pairs the warm vocals of Anita O'Day with the cool vibes of Cal Tjader – in a sweet little session that's actually one of O'Day's best from the time! The feel here is lively, and slightly ... LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, Late 50s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
Ella's performing songs written by or associated with Duke–what could be better? Here she's backed by two different Ellington groups–-one a big band, the other a small group, whose members included Stuff Smith, Barney Kessel, and Ben Webster. Titles include "Rockin' In ... LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, Late 50s. Near Mint-
An excellent album of vocals by the great Joe Williams! Joe's always been a fine singer, but with Basie, he really gets the backing he needs to do his work the best. And although this album isn't as authenico as it might be, it still comes from a time when Verve really knew how to handle singers ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ella Fitzgerald

Ella At Duke's Place
Verve, 1965. Very Good Gatefold
A beautiful classic from mid 60s Verve – and the kind of a session that we wouldn't have expected to come off so well! In a style they were using with older artists at the time, Verve brought Ella and Duke into the studio together – with Duke's band and compositions providing the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Verve, 1959. Very Good Gatefold
Sweet arrangements by Nelson Riddle! LP, Vinyl record album

Anita O'Day & The Three Sounds

Anita O'Day & The Three Sounds
Verve, 1962. Very Good+ Gatefold
A great singer and a great trio – a unique Verve outing that has vocalist Anita O'Day joining forces with the Three Sounds combo of pianist Gene Harris! The Three Sounds were always happy to serve as a rhythm combo on dates like this – and they really bring a lot of their own flavor to ... LP, Vinyl record album
