I somehow seemed to have missed this one, though some of the tracks look familiar. Might some of them have been used on compilations or sampler-type issues?

Given that it's a pricey Hip-O, I might wait until it's available on a Bargain Day somewhere online...

Disc 1

All tracks originally released in different order as Verve MGV-8231-2, 1956 except Disc 2, Tracks 3-13, which are previously unreleased.

I was only marginally interested in this, but almost a whole CD of unreleased Louis Armstrong (and a bit o' Ella) makes it far more tempting. I'll ponder this for a while.

The price is definitely on the high side, however, even for 2 CDs -- $36!

The released material is great. I bet the unreleased is excellent as well.

As for the price. . . I think that it's not that bad for a Hip-O set. It may pay to watch and wait a bit to see if there's a cheaper source. I mean you can get two freshly-released pop cds for that price and get only 1 percent of the value. :)

Very nice!

The Pops part will be on the upcoming totally superfluous Universal 10CD set... I already wondered about where the rest of it could be found... and with the Pops being in there, too, that's nice! I'll grab this for sure!

Received it in the mail today and listening to Disc 1 now; sounds good but noticed some distortion on the Art Tatum tracks however my laptop doesn't have the best speakers (obviously)...
