Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good, moderate scuffing, some surface abrasion and discoloration with darker spots (front/back); sticker residue on front near top right and creasing on back at bottom right. Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine is mostly readable with wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge with small split on bottom and developing splits on top. Some wear to corners, especially left-side corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Hole-punches in both top corners.)
Recorded late in Louis Armstrong's life, this obscure LP finds his All-Stars of the period (which included trombonist Tyree Glenn and clarinetist Joe Muranyi) joined by several studio musicians and a choir, arranged and conducted by Dick Jacobs. At this point in time, Armstrong's trumpet solos were quite brief and basic, although effective. The emphasis throughout is on his vocalizing, mostly on then-current show tunes such as Talk to the Animals (from Doctor Dolittle), Willkommen (from Cabaret) and Sunrise, Sunset (from Fiddler on the Roof).
