I have this one. What impressed me most was the live set from Boston, the rest is a bit uneven. If I remember right there is one private track where someone took the drum chair who is not a drummer and it sounds terrible. 
But there is also a short broadcast where Buddy Rich (who is great but not necessarly my favourite) plays some superb brushes behind Eager.....

Starting off the day with Pops. His positive vibe is always welcome. You Know Who's vocals are so well-recorded here. . . and everyone is dishing it out.

“Louis Armstrong & His All Stars En Concert Olympia 24 April 1962” Europe 1 cd

Yes, I'm seeing those too. Someone has update his Wikipedia page with yesterday as day of death.

Let's hope it's wrong. A total giant of the music

[sidewinder]

Very sad news if that is the case.

Cool. New reissue LPs are too expensive for me.

The original Liberty LP was always pretty elusive and often with clipped corner sleeve. This new LP probably trounces it on sonics and the sleeve plus inner photos (Mosaic's old collection being put to good use) makes it definitive- at least in terms of LP issue. The Japanese CD would be great too.

[jazzbo]

I'm predominantly a cd person. . . I do listen to LPs but don't buy many new at all, mostly used and really cheap. . . and about 1 percent of my collection and purchases.

I go for both but preference for LP if it is a good issue due to spec of the deck. Both formats are great.

This live music was restored from a soundboard cassette requested by a member of the band and issued by Amoeba Records as a  2 LP set for Record Store Day. The sound is pretty good, though the announcements are at low levels due to Gram Parsons' soft speaking voice.

[jazzbo]

I agree. My system is geared more for cd and SACD and the price for these is better.

Jimi Hendrix and Band of Gypsies, Songs for Groovy Children

On disc four of this. For me, this is the best Hendrix set ever released. His best band (Band of Gypsies) in four concerts on two consecutive days, awesome guitar, and great sonics.
