Description

.An absolute holy grail for vocal jazz collectors. Offered here is the complete, matching two-volume set of Ella Fitzgerald's landmark 1956 release Sings The Cole Porter Songbook, preserved in stunning, archive-quality Near Mint condition. Finding just one volume of this 1956 UK first pressing in clean condition is difficult—finding the complete two-part set together, entirely preserved in flawless NM/NM condition, is incredibly rare. These have clearly been cherished, properly stored, and played with the utmost care over the last 70 years. Pressing Details:

  • Country: UK
  • Format: Heavyweight Mono Vinyl
  • Label: Original 1st Pressing "His Master's Voice" deep red/plum label with gold lettering and the iconic Nipper logo.
  • Catalogue Nos: CLP 1083 (Volume 1) MGV 4001 A-1N & CLP 1084 (Volume 2) MGV 4001 D-1N 
Condition Report: The Vinyl (Graded NM / Near Mint):
Both discs retain their original, brilliant high-gloss factory sheen. Under intense direct light, the surfaces are remarkably clean with no visible scratches, scuffs, or hairline marks. The labels are pristine with crisp gold text and virtually no spindle wear around the centre holes. The audio is bright, sharp, and carries that deep, warm 1950s mono punch. The Sleeves (Graded NM / Near Mint):
Both original front-laminated, flip back jackets are beautifully preserved. The laminate is perfectly smooth and bright with no lifting, peeling, or heavy bubbling. The delicate rear flip backs are fully intact, completely free of tears, writing, or seam splits. The spines are strong, rigid, and completely legible.
