Favorites gets the honor to be her first Long Play, still in the 10″ size recently released. Its eight tracks represent a short sample of the so called “Columbia Years”, being the sole album published by Columbia in that period. A curiosity here is the track Mandy Is Two, a track recorded in 1942 and never released in 78rpm. Down Beat magazine reviews it on April 1951:

” (…) You’ve already read thousands of tributes to Billie, this won’t be another. Suffice it to say that this item is a must.”
