I will be listing quite a lot of quality Jazz LPs in the next couple of months. Please don't message me asking for discounted prices until September. If what I list hasn't sold by Sept. I'll consider discounts but not before.

 

BILLIE HOLIDAY 
SOLITUDE  
 Verve  V6-8074
I'm pretty sure it is a 1960's reissue although I can't find this exact pressing in Discogs.
Dead Wax Side 1: V6-8074 SIDE 1 MGS-1886 11 [Block-shaped "S" stamp]
Dead Wax Side 2: V6-8074 SIDE 2 MGS-1887 11 [Block-shaped "S" stamp]

The Record looks EX & plays EX+ (the whole LP was played to grade it.)
 Sleeve: G+ light stain & address sticker on back next to the bottom of the spine, a cut out hole punch. The main defect is that I carefully tape repaired the entire spine which had split. The repair is very difficult to see in the front but you can see it better it in the picture of the back cover.
 Inner: VG+ It is just a generic white inner but it has the same punch out hole as the outer sleeve so it is what it was released in.
The LP is in & will be shipped in an additional rounded poly inner.
