What a lot of garbage.

At 4$ this is a ripp off.The recording must have been made from a tape of an old scratchy record played on one off those old wind up record players with that big horn thing sticking out.It is absolutely terrible. I want my money back. The package it comes in aint too bad tho. You can use the disc as a coaster and the case for some other disc.Absolute GARBAGE. Makes Justin Trowser snake and the Back Street Bonkers sound almost worth listening to. Take note Cranster me owld mate.

YOU GOT YOUR MONEY'S WORTH

That PROPER collection is certainly not the first cd you should buy of SATCHMO's early recordings.However for the price,it's not bad at all.It includes famous stuff from the HOT FIVE,HOT SEVEN days:CORNET CHOP SUEY,WILLIE THE WEEPER;the first recording of NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN and a fabulous STARDUST.ST-LOUIS BLUES pales when you compare it with the version of the 1954 lp that was entirely devoted to the father of the blues W.C.HANDY.If you want to amuse yourself,try to find out how many essentials or best of cds of the great man are available on the market.Good luck!
