"A limited-edition, six-LP box set of Ella Fitzgerald Sings The George & Ira Gershwin Song Book. It's a replica of the original 1959 five-LP/one-EP set, whose material was recorded from January 5 through July 18, 1959 when Fitzgerald was 41....
Newly mastered for LP at Capitol Studios and pressed at Rainbo Records in Los Angeles, these LPs, which come in odd textured plastic sleeves, are reasonably quiet. A set of four prints by Bernard Buffet whose original portrait of Fitzgerald graces the cover of the box is also included in the new set. The only quibble here is that this set has already been reissued on LP in 1964 and 1978 and on CD in 1990 and 1998. Too bad there wasn't an alternate tracks set or perhaps alternate tracks paired with an unreleased live set to be released with or instead of this? Nevertheless, it is only available at the Universal Music online store, UDiscovermusic.com, for $149.99."
