VG/EX means that the item's sleeve is in Very Good condition and the disc is in Excellent condition.That album would spawn her now iconic version of "Over the Rainbow," which has been compared to Judy Garland's as a definitive performance of that treasured American classic. Back in 2001, it was the BBC playing Cassidy’s rendition of “Over the Rainbow” that introduced her to British audiences and ignited a media storm on both sides of the Atlantic. For the orchestral version, strings replace the guitar, and the overlapping sustains and tremolos become a texture of forest murmurs.

Two-time Emmy™-winning producer/arranger William Ross, who created the album’s “Autumn Leaves” track, said: “I can’t possibly find the words to adequately express my thoughts and feelings about Eva, one of the most unique, hypnotic, and powerful singers of all time. All album tracks will be available in high-definition stereo along with Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 immersive audio formats, a first for Eva Cassidy recordings.
