Billie Holiday’s emotionally rich and timeless album All Or Nothing At All is being reissued on premium vinyl this year, offering fans and collectors the chance to experience one of her most acclaimed works in audiophile quality. This reissue comes as part of the Verve Acoustic Sounds series, known for its dedication to preserving and enhancing jazz masterpieces through meticulous remastering and high-fidelity pressing.

Originally released in 1958, All Or Nothing At All captures Holiday at a pivotal moment in her career. Recorded during her later years, the album is a powerful testament to her expressive voice and interpretative brilliance. With a tracklist that includes jazz standards and ballads, it’s a moving portrait of an artist who turned every note into raw emotion.

A Jazz Landmark Returns on Vinyl

The vinyl reissue of All Or Nothing At All is set to arrive on 180g black vinyl, mastered with audiophile precision to replicate the original warmth and intimacy of Holiday’s performance. Overseen by engineers at Verve and pressed at the prestigious Quality Record Pressings facility, this edition promises enhanced sonic detail without compromising the charm of the original recording.

Holiday’s voice, worn yet defiant, floats over gentle arrangements that feature some of the finest jazz musicians of the era, including Harry “Sweets” Edison on trumpet and Ben Webster on tenor saxophone. Each track is delivered with a vulnerability that only Billie Holiday could convey — songs like Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me and Sophisticated Lady come alive with nuanced phrasing and emotional depth.

Revisiting All Or Nothing At All

The title All Or Nothing At All reflects Holiday’s all-consuming approach to music. Even as her health declined in the 1950s, her ability to communicate pain, longing, and tenderness remained unmatched. This album, recorded just a year before her passing, is widely viewed as one of her most personal and poignant.

Unlike the earlier, more upbeat recordings of her youth, this album carries a darker, more reflective tone. Holiday’s voice may have lost some of its technical precision, but what it gained in character and honesty is what continues to resonate with listeners decades later.

The Importance of the Verve Acoustic Sounds Series

The Verve Acoustic Sounds series has been a gift to jazz lovers and vinyl enthusiasts alike.

This reissue of All Or Nothing At All is not just about nostalgia — it’s about preserving the legacy of one of the greatest vocalists in music history. Listening to this record on vinyl, with all its warmth and crackle, brings you closer to the raw emotion that defined Billie Holiday’s artistry.
