Betty Carter - Out There With Betty Carter

180-gram vinyl

Verve By Request Series — Monthly releases from Verve Label Group's jazz catalog!

Handpicked rarities and fan favorites include out-of-print titles and first-ever vinyl pressings

Verve Records/UMe and Third Man Records have partnered to resurrect the popular reissue series, Verve By Request, with a vinyl twist. Focusing on rare gems and fan-requested jazz albums from the Verve Label Group's stable of iconic labels, the series will offer two titles per month — each hand-picked by Verve and Third Man Records. The records will include both long-out-of-print titles from the vault as well as the first-ever vinyl pressings for albums released in the '90s and aughts that were only originally released on CD.

Albums will be newly remastered from original analog sources, when available, and pressed on 180-gram at Third Man Record Pressings in Detroit.

Originally released through Peacock Records in 1958 after her stint with the Lionel Hampton's band, Out There is a snapshot and early gem in Betty Carter's broad career. Supported by a quality cast including Benny Golson (Tenor Saxophone), Wynton Kelly (Piano) and Kenny Dorham (Trumpet) among others, Carter glides through standards such as "Something Wonderful" as well as her first-penned track "I Can't Help It" which would go on to become a performance staple. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
