"All or Nothing At All is fantastic"
vonhelmholtz-
I once took this particular press to an audio show. Distributor of AudioDesk was therre, so had it US cleaned.
Billie Holiday – All Or Nothing At All (1959, Deep Groove , Vinyl) - Discogs
Played it on an uber setup, where there were some Billie fans among listeners. It was CD quiet and just a pleaure to experience.
I was offered $200 on the spot by a guy with a European accent. I politely declined. I found it years ago at my local shop for maybe $10-15? At the time I probably thought I paid too much!
This is the "Deep Groove" pressing-allegedly "special" I don't know about this, but it sure does sound nice.
This SH thread on "Deep Groove" unfortunately doesn't really say WHY it's "Better"
This is likely just as good AND cheap-
Billie Holiday – All Or Nothing At All (1959, Vinyl) - Discogs
