Does anyone know where I can get it? I've been having one hell of a time finding it and it's an album I've been really wanting for my collection.

It shouldn't be too hard. I have it on the Chronologincal Classics ('35-'38), highly recomended if you like Webb's stuff.
I think I also saw it on one of the big band CDs at E-music ... just checked, it's on the Avid Classic Big Band Jazz compilation.

I mean the actual album, not the song.

Tried Half.com yet? I just put stuff on my wish list and get an email when there's one in stock.

yeah, I just got a copy off of Amazon from one of their resellers. That seems to be a pretty good way to get hard to find CDs.

Purchase the following albums and you have a complete collection of Chick Webb studio recordings:
CC - Chick Webb: 1929 - 1934
CC - Chick Webb: 1935 - 1938
Decca - Ella Fitzgerald: The Early Years, Part 1
From there you can suppliment those with a few live recordings:
Drive Archive - Chick Webb: Standing Tall
Don't bother with the "Spinnin The Webb" album, as it's just a little off of each of the two CC albums.

well I've got all of those.
You'll need to add
Count Basie & has orchestra 1937, Chick webb & his Orchestra 1936.
The recordings on this album are very different than Chick Webbs standards. There are some very cool songs on this one.
There are some other recordings I also have of Chick Webb with Lious Armstrong.
There is a few other Chick Webb recordings that are not on the Melodie Jazz Classic Label.
EG: In the Groove at the Grove
There are a few other, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Yeah, when you factor in the live recordings it could very well be an endless search.

Once you've got a complete set of studio recordings, are there any live albums that stand out as must-haves, either because of specific songs or because the takes are breathtakingly better?

I really am enjoying Standing Tall, it's good to have because it's some of the last recordings made of Chick Webb before he died.

I've only got it on Casette, and I'm trying to transfer it to CD not. Semi working. Some great songs on it.
I really like 1 O'Clock jump.
I'm hoping to put on a Webb V's Basie nigth some time soon. Should be fun. Only use per 1940 Basie recordings. Try to recreate the battle of all battles.
