This rare LP record from 1956 features the legendary Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, along with other greats like Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, and Buddy Rich.                                       The vinyl is in very good condition and   sleeve is also in very good plus condition. The sleeve has a small "35" written in pen on the back.                                                       This rare recording is not in "mint" shape..but through my system ,it certainly sounds good.There is one very faint 1/2 inch scratch that is mostly confined to the run-out ,but does appear on the last track on b side,(visually) ..the surface of both sides is very clean without much wear at all

There is background ticks,and a few pops.None that  overtakes the overall sound.


The record is a first pressing from Verve Records and has a catalog number of MG V-4003. The record grading is good by the standard grading system..and the sleeve grading is very good plus (VG+). This LP record is perfect for jazz enthusiasts and collectors alike.
