I heard this album in the LP form at the beginnings of my explorations into jazz but, as the CD era started, I was warned that the 80's CD of "Armstrong plays W. C. Handy" contains inferior alternate versions.
The producer George Avakian explains in this 1997 CD what happened and how painstaking and meticolous research and restoration resulted in this issue, basically equall to the original album, although the recording company had lost not only masters but the back-up copies as well. So, all the compliments go to Mr. Avakian, the producer and the restorer of this music.
This is one of my favorite jazz albums and I feel it proves that Louis in the 50's could very well reach his Hot fives ... Read More:

Release Date December 01, 1983
Well this guy sure had a strange ear on the world. I don't know jazz and I'm too young to know trad. But to my modern hearing this is really off-the-wall stuff, a really warped aural view of melody and rhythm. The title track is so evocative of the disfunctional US city life of the 20s, and his take on standards like Alexander is in his quite unique own voice. Quirky, refreshing, eccentric, a one-off. (But I can't help but wonder what it must have been like to live with ears that heard the world this way!)
