FOLK SONGS OF THE UNITED STATES
An annotated survey of the field recordings in the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress, including Southern, Northern, and Western Euro-American songs and ballads; many types of African American songs from the United States and Bahamas; Mexican American songs and ballads; and songs and tunes from the Cajun country. This first recorded picture of a nation’s field recorded folk traditions was recorded by John A. Lomax, Alan Lomax, Herbert Halpert, and others, and edited by Alan Lomax. It was subsequently expanded by other collector/editors including Benjamin Botkin, William N. Fenton, Duncan Emrich, George Pullen Jackson, George Korson, Richard Waterman, Henrietta Yurchenco, and others. (Library of Congress, 1942)

RECORD GRADING TERMS:Mint. Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Near Mint. A nearly perfect record. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. Excellent. An Excellent (or Very Good Plus / VG+) record will show some signs that it was played by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect listening. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may have a "cut-out" hole. If not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. Very Good (VG) Many defects found in an Excellent (VG+) record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages but will not overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches that will affect the sound. Picture sleeves or LP covers, or labels may be marred by writing, tape or stickers (or their residue). Sleeve can have one-inch spine split. Good. Can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
