Was Storf high when he wrote the description for the Louis Armstrong album? Just saw it in my email and I might get the album but his description is off by like 12 years haha! This recording happened in 1968 unless I’m completely missing something. View attachment 203742

It's pretty sure that's right unless he performed with them more than once...

Yeah it sounds like he's talking about the earlier Philharmonic concert. But that article is discussing the later BBC sessions. So yeah... who knows. Maybe mix of both...
 
Is the royal philharmonic and the london

theyve corrected the title since I linked it and it now says 13 track lp instead of double lp. I’m guessing it’s the 68 show.

looks like it on a reread of this

Unheard Louis Armstrong recordings to be released | Louis Armstrong | The Guardian

What a Wonderful World and You’ll Never Walk Alone are among five unreleased tracks on compilation Louis in London, performed at the BBC in 1968
amp.theguardian.com amp.theguardian.com

Strange though. Very unlike VMP to make such a simple error. With its quality control I’d have expected them to be all over this
 
Just reading up on it and that 56 concert was not recorded at all because the British Musicians Union forbade it. But as the article states: "Trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton had a feeling this was going to be an important night and wanting a souvenir, placed a reel-to-reel tape recorder in a backstage dressing room, capturing the sounds onstage as piped through a monitor."

The quality is uh, not good.

So yeah uh, this is why you have copy editors kids.

There's also the more obvious issue of What A Wonderful World not being recorded or released until '67 to factor in.

Only reason I even did a double take was because he mentioned What a Wonderful World and then said 1956… Louis didn’t record that song until 1967.
