    I've correct matrix numbers but with songwriter/publisher information under song titles. Does anyone has same version as mine?

      I have an EX- copy (looks neglected) of this and it really is one incredibly well recorded record. Their vocals could bring a tear to my eye, they truly are in the room with you. Such a beautiful album. Except I have to treat this record like a baby on the occasion I play it lol. The sleeve is also really nice to hold, nice and laminated. A great experience for any record collector.

        This is my favorite record from my entire collection. It holds sentimental value because it was given to me by my grandfather about 15 years ago, but he gave me a number of records. To my untrained ear (at the time), this one still stuck out.

        Despite this LP being 65 years old, the voices of Louis and Ella still stand out, this pressing has no background noise. This is the album that turned me on to old Verve records, there's just something about the way both the vocalists and the individual instruments, particularly the bass, stand out on these recordings.
