I've just scoured the hefty booklet in the "Complete Billie Holiday on
Columbia 1933-1944" CD box, having recalled something said about the
number of copies sold.
It doesn't mention a specific figure, but points out that the preceding
year had been Columbia's worst sales-wise, and that the record sold so
poorly that John Hammond didn't record Billie Holiday again until nearly
2 years later.
