REVIEW

It is undeniable that Billie Holiday's singing changed in her later years

Her voice darkened and shifted to a lower range

Her economy of means distilled her sound to its expressive essence - a kind of heightened speech

The classic LP Songs For Distingue Lovers has also deepened and become burnished with time

Maybe it's that still-arresting word, "distingue"; maybe it's that iconic, tinted image of Lady Day on the cover

But now that legendary LP, with the singer's best studio work of the Fifties, is available at 45 RPM!
