This is a 100% unopened, unplayed album.  I recently uncovered the last remaining original, sealed pressings from the 504 record label in New Orleans.  I have 14 different titles available.  This record is a true time capsule and has remained untouched in the shipping boxes from Ville Platte record plant.  Obviously, with the large amount of time that has passed, I carefully open and inspect each album by hand, making sure the title is correct and the album is not warped or damaged in any way.  I stand behind my sales and will not sell a defective or fake product.  You can read more about my record label, this discovery and listen to music samples at St.RochAv.
This release is Volume 1 of the Larry Borenstein Series, a collection of informal concerts recorded at the Associated Art Gallery (736 St. Peter St. French Quarter, NOLA) in 1957.  It was through these jazz sessions that inspired the creation of Preservation Hall.  The undisputed king of the 1920’s New Orleans Dance Hall sound, Thomas “Kid” Valentine (1896-1987), performs in this special mono field recording with the likes of Ed. Washington, Louis Nelson, Joe James, Burke Stevenson, and Sammy Penn.  Out of print.  Less than 50 copies remain.
