After the recording with Oliver, Armstrong only made one more recording of 'Chimes Blues'.
I have three versions of this later recording (1959), and all three are in stereo.
The peculiar thing about these is this:
On Top Jazz CD(Italian) Louis is in the middle, Trummy is on the right, and Peanuts is on the left.
On SMS CD(GB) Louis and Trummy are on the left, and Peanuts is on the right.
On Musidisc LP(F) Louis and Peanuts are on the right, and Trummy is on the left.

Was anyone at this concert in Los Angeles and can confirm which of the above (if any) is correct?

Cheers

Bob Smith
