Notes:

This Lp is un-banded with introductions. Side A is simply MC Willis Conover stating: "Miss Ella Fitzgerald". Side B is initially introduced by Conover who then turns over the mic to [a164574 to introduce Billie Holiday. Towards the end of Mercer's comments he invites [a37733 to stay on the stage.  

Label and cover variation of [r4677602, this version also has the Verve 'trumpeter' labels, but font size for 'AT NEWPORT' is smaller than artist name and positioned a little higher on label. Additionally uses different fonts for the song credits & rights.
