This edition presents the classic double album "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book" in its entirety. BNThe first of the celebrated song books recorded by Ella and one of the best vocal jazz albums ever made, the Cole Porter Song Book was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000, which honors recordings that have “qualitative or historical significance”. In 2003, it was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress in Washington to be added to the National Recording Registry.

A live version of “Love for Sale” from the same period, which showcases Ella in a small band setting, has been added as a bonus track.
