'Anita' was Anita O'Day's first album released with her third record label, Verve Records, in 1956. It was later re-released as 'This Is Anita' in 1962.
It was arranged and conducted by Buddy Bregman and was the first in a series of albums recorded by O'Day for the newly inaugurated Verve Records. Norman Granz was the producer on this album, and it was the first album to be released under his new label, thus paving the way for the future recordings from Verve, and this album was O'Day's first stint from the big band recordings of the 1940s and early 1950s.
