Hello Louis: The Hit Years 1963-1969

[crisp]

Can't find any discussion here of this set. It's been out for nearly a couple of months and looks more interesting than it sounds. It's three albums based around three of Satchmo's late-career hit singles.

It's got "Cheesecake" on it. For what more could you ask?

The Hip-O-Select label should mean a quality package and liner notes.

This looks like a great compilation:

You ain't kidding. A teacher played this to the class when my son was in elementary school. (He's now graduated from college.) I could only find it on a weird grey market French release which of course gave no discographical info.

(Not to be confused with Dexter Gordon's equally great song titled "Cheesecake".)

I had it on a Pickwick reissue of the Mame album. It's a track - the track - back to which I continue to come.

Just gave Cheesecake a listen courtesy of Spotify. Could hardly stop laughing.

It's a long way from Potato Head Blues to this and yet, somehow, not.

Oh MY!

Can anybody here who has this set tell me if it has a booklet? I've just received it from Amazon UK, and while there is a space for a booklet in the digipak, it's empty.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it has a 24 page booklet.

Thanks Stompy. I'll email Amazon.
