Cyril Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 Maybel not a photo you like, but I cannot help it's on a cover! Speaking for myself, for me it's a nice photo (1941 - 1945) !!! Quote

How about THIS for a REALLY unflattering photo that - what is more - gives a TOTALLY false impression as to the contents? This reissue includes the tracks Anita O'Day did for the Signature label in 1947 - recordings that normally are totally off the radar between her big band and Verve years. I bought the LP DESPITE the cover but this cover made me cringe, considering how much better and more in style it could have been done with a PERIOD photo and cover artwork (like others did with reissue LPs of 40s Musicraft masters, for example). So all in all I don't find the Early Years reissue that bad. That photo just shows she puts her soul in the singing. Edited January 21, 2017 by Big Beat Steve Quote
