An Evening with Billie Holiday (MG C-144) is the second 10-inch LP studio album by jazz singer Billie Holiday, released by Clef Records in 1953.[http://www.discogs.com/Billie-Holiday-An-Evening-With-Billie-Holiday/release/4570165 An Evening with Billie Holiday], Discogs, accessed Dec 21, 2015

In 1956, when the 10-inch format was phased out, the album was reissued by Clef with the same artwork, and seven of the eight tracks, as a 12-inch LP called A Recital by Billie Holiday (MG C-686).[http://www.discogs.com/Billie-Holiday-A-Recital-By-Billie-Holiday/release/4196672 A Recital by Billie Holiday], Discogs, accessed Dec 21, 2015 The track "Tenderly", was moved to another 12-inch compilation called Solitude. Five additional tracks were added that had been previously released on her third 10-inch LP, simply titled Billie Holiday.
