PROPER BOX 93
LOUIS ARMSTRONG - KING LOUIS

99 Tracks of absolute greatness.  This is the music that defines the twentieth century, that once and for all distinguished the unique and original culture of The New World from that of its Old World forebears.  Louis Armstrong changed the face of music and the music he created changed history.  His career is nothing short of miraculous.  No self-respecting American can be ignorant of the music contained on this set: it's the real declaration of independence.  Finally -- it's about time, we might add -- this music gets the Proper Box treatment:  Five hours of music (see listings below) on four discs, each enclosed in their own LP-style jacket, acompanied by an informative 40-page illustrated booklet, all packed in a stylish, compact box for the copacetic price of only $29.75!
