Has this been released before?

Looks treacherously like record no. 1 and not quite half of record no. 2 of the 4-LP set that has been released and reissued countless times since 1957 under the same "Musical Autobiography" name on Decca, Brunswick and assorted other labels that eventually came under the MCA flag.

Not a particularly rare item on the secondhand market.
Makes me wonder why anyone would want to hop on THAT bandwagon now ...

The Storyville parent label has released the Autobiography sessions before, in the '90s on their Jazz Unlimited label.

How is the music?  And what is the recording date?  I'm looking at an Armstrong discography which is rather dismissive of the project but can't find this particular line-up.  Doesn't mean it's not there just that I couldn't find it.
