ALL OF OUR ITEMS ARE USED AND SOLD AS IS NO RETURNS FOR ANY REASON SO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO BEFORE BIDDING.. These are the "Anthology of American Folk Music," originally issued by Folkways Records in 1952. The brainchild of the avant-garde filmmaker, folklorist and anthropologist Harry Smith, the anthology is comprised of three boxed two-LP sets that contained 84 performances recorded between 1926 and 1933. Included are early black blues and white country music, Cajun recordings, hymns and sacred music, and more, thrown together under a loose framework that almost single-handedly redefined folk music. All six disks appear to be unscratched and in VG+ shape. Each box originally contained a copy of a booklet written, designed and laid out by Smith himself, an idiosyncratic compendium of discographical information, bibliographical references and summaries of the songs, all set in various type fonts and illustrated with photographs, advertisements from old record catalogues and other ephemera. All 3 the boxes still contain a copy of this booklet . Boxes are generally in very good shape. Vol. 3 has hinge torn on Vol. 2, very good ; vol. 1 one corner of box is split and hinge has tear.ALSO THESE ARE FORMERLY OUT OF A SCHOOL AND HAVE EASILY REMOVABLE LABELS ON FRONT AND all pieces are neatly stamped otherwise a super nice set !!
