I had both back in the 70's ...... both are great .
"The Captain And Me" is my Favorite though
However, if I come accoss a good copy of "Tolouse Street" I will surly get it.
Just got an original '72 pressing of this 2 LP set compilation............
Billie Holiday - God Bless The Child .
It's NM and it's the mono release....... not the (awful) simulated stereo release. Mono is the only way it should be heard
For recordings that are about 75- 80 years old, they sound amazing!
Billie did not have strong voice and had a limited range but, what she did with it is remarkable.

Yes Joe,Mono is the best!!!!! (For any recording)
I got 3 records yesterday
1) Styx - Equinox (EXCELLENT -- I HAVE ALREADY LISTENEND TO IT)
2) Genesis - Duke (I have been wanting this for awhile)
3) Pat Benetar - Precious time (I have this on cassette also)
I do feel guilty however.... On my Styx Album is a sticker from a record store that used to be in town here and it has thier price listed... $6.99 and here I got it for 99 cents!!
I do feel guilty getting all this beautiful media for almost nothing,I feel like I am stealing it/not respecting it!!

Yeah, for some reason even at her lowest ebb, I was always more moved by the visceral emotion she could impart than by any of numerous more technically perfect contemporary voices in the genre

When I opened this up on youtube, my thoughts immediately flashed back to that scene with Ray Charles in "Blues Brothers" -- "This keyboard doesn't have any life!"
Nothing beats a B3!
Actually, Billy was technically perfect in her own way.
In spite of her vocal limitations, she she had perfect pitch and never gave a hint of straining her voice.
