This is an essentail CD set for any Billie Holiday(perhaphs the only more essential set is her two CD set "The Complete Decca Recordings")fan it includes the classic "Strange Fruit" outtakes of almost every songs, and every song she made into a standard.  Billie Holiday's voice had not yet been effected by her drug habbit, so you'll hear nothing but her gorgious sensual and at times sad and longing voice.  Holiday was the quintessential torch singer, and this two CD set of all her Commadore seesions proves what a great torch singer she was.  An excellent CD.
