Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five Vol. 1 LP is a reissued vinyl record released in 1956 by Columbia. The record features Louis Armstrong and his band playing jazz instrument, New-Orleans-Jazz, and Dixieland styles. The vinyl record is 12" in size and plays at 33 RPM. The record comes in a black cardboard sleeve and has a vinyl matrix number of XLP 4964-1C / XLP 4965-2B.

The good: It’s Louis!! I am only selling this because the music can still be played and heard. It will suffice for a first time collector of this album. If you don’t own this it’s priced just right for you.

The bad: The sleeve is split on both the top and the bottom. I am supplying a plastic sleeve cover. There is dust heard throughout both sides 1 & 2. Possibly owned by a smoking household, who knows. More popping and dust on track one side one, than the rest of the album but it’s still there. There is no dust cover for the vinyl. The only reason I am selling it is because the music can still be heard well.

The ugly: The pops and dust put this between worn and fair. However, there were no skips while I played it on my rig. I found a nicer copy so this is just going to be a hand me down to you so to speak. Priced to move. If you can clean it, please feel free to. Just make sure you know what you are doing.

I love this album, awe who am I kidding…I love Louis Armstrong. Please give this one a good home folks.
