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).[4] 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.

gollark: I mean, you could use PHP too. I don't like it. But you could.
gollark: What I might do, though there are probably many ways to: make a program in Node.js or whatever (personal preference) which responds with whatever image is set to any requests for that, and which allows you to upload an image, converts it to the right format, then saves it to be sent when the ESP requests it.
gollark: And you want to be able to upload pictures to some sort of web thing to send to the ESP?
gollark: That... sounds possible though I don't know exactly what you mean.
gollark: Actually, you could probably just use a static file server and a program to swap out the file every now and then, that would work too.
