RECORD REVIEW
THE COMPLETE LOUIS ARMSTRONG HOT FIVE AND HOT SEVEN RECORDINGS
(Columbia/Legacy)
This four CD set was first issued in 2004, and I ordered mine in April 2017. The results were ridiculous. The CDs come as a box set, surrounded by thick paper. Therein lies the main problem; there is no way of sliding the book/discs out from the paper. The only way to get at the recordings is to rip the paper off. Once I did that, the discs fell out; they don’t even stay in the package! At that point, utterly frustrated, I destroyed the discs and threw everything away in the trash; anything that poorly put together doesn’t deserve to be in my collection. I can only wonder at the outright stupidity in whoever designed the box and its cover.
Don’t waste your time and money on this.
