Description
1 of 5 original test pressings from the first ever vinyl release A live recording of Louis Armstrong from 1956 on vinyl for the first time. Pressed on 180gram Vinyl at Pallas
Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars are captured in rare form during this live recording from 1956, which made its vinyl debut via ORG Music in 2016 on a180gram Pallas pressing. This is one of five original test pressings. The album features a great collection of tunes which had become staples of Armstrong’s live shows, including his perennial opener, “Indiana”; the crowd favorite, “Tiger Rag”; the always joyful, “When The Saints Go Marching In”; and the great title-track, “Basin Street Blues.” Satch’s frontline band at the time boasted the very distinctive sounds of trombonist Trummy Young and clarinetist Ed Hall.
