Exceptionally well-preserved and offered together as a matched pair, this bundle is a genuine collector's opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Bix Beiderbecke\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeon Bismarck \"Bix\" Beiderbecke (1903–1931) remains one of the most luminous and tragic figures in jazz history. A self-taught cornetist from Davenport, Iowa, Beiderbecke possessed a tone so pure and lyrical that Louis Armstrong himself called it \"the most beautiful sound I ever heard in my life.\" His 1924 sessions with The Wolverines — recorded when he was just 21 years old — are widely regarded as foundational documents of early jazz, capturing a voice that was wholly original and heartbreakingly brief. London Records' mid-century reissues brought these recordings to a new generation of listeners, pressed with care and housed in the now-iconic yellow and pink graphic sleeves of the Origins of Jazz series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAlbums Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBix Beiderbecke and The Wolverines — London Records AL 3532, Released 1954\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBix Beiderbecke Vol. 2 with The Wolverine Orchestra — London Records AL 3543, Released 1955\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-inch vinyl LP (set of 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e London Records — \"Origins of Jazz\" Archival Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e AL 3532 \/ AL 3543\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1924\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1954–1955\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean local estate sale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia \/ Vinyl: Very Good Plus (VG+) to Excellent (EX).\u003c\/strong\u003e Both 10-inch discs are beautiful, exceptionally clean, and highly glossy — retaining their full original mirror-like shine with minimal to no surface hairlines or scuffs.
