Best Louis Armstrong LP to Start With?

Strangely enough, on my system the Echoes of an Era with Armstrong and Ellington is about as good as it gets, usually used and barely played if at all for around $6.

Come on! Just get all the Hot 5's and 7's and be done with it!! (However watch for those terrible late 70's and 80's pressings).

I'd say Ella & Louis Again on MoFi. The 45 RPM St. James Infirmary LP is also stunning, but it's just two songs.

Second the Ella & Louis Again. Vintage Armstrong and very decent non-monkeyed with recordings.

satchmo plays king oliver on classic records 200gm release is one of my favorites. entire album is great from start to finish. Another good one is the verve release of i've got the world on a string.
