- Review
- This deluxe two-LP set, which was released in the late '50s but stayed in print for quite awhile, has 23 of Ella Fitzgerald's most popular Decca recordings. All but three selections date from the 1944-55 period; highlights are many including "Undecided," "Stairway to the Stars," "Flying Home," "Lady Be Good," "How High the Moon" and "Smooth Sailing." However all of the music on this attractive set has since been reissued on CD. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
