Description
Folkways FP-46, “American Northwest Ballads” sung by Walt Robertson, from 1955. The original heavyweight vinyl plays at VG+ with persistent light ticks that do not overpower the music and are fairly inaudible from a distance. The jacket is in excellent condition with strong seams, little seamwear, square corners, no ringwear, bends, writing, or stamps, and is very clean. The lyrics booklet, with notes by Robertson, is included and excellent shape with light age toning. This itinerant singer recorded two highly memorable LPs for Folkways and was otherwise a Seattle theater actor. Songs are “Sourwood Mountain”, “Swannanoa Town”, “The Old Man Over the Hill”, “Old Grey Mare”, “Two Sisters”, “Wildwood Flower”, “False Knight Upon the Road”, “Cumberland Gap”, “Lord Randall”, “Poor Ellen Smith”, and “Sweet Rivers”. Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $8.00 priority mail within the continental U.S.; $18.00 regular airmail to the U.K., Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. Regrets for the higher overseas shipping cost, but these early Folkways LPs are heavy. Additional LPs in a single package are $1.00 additional within U.S. and Canada, $2.00 elsewhere. For overseas shipments, registered mail is strongly recommended at $11.75 extra. Many old records are practically antiques and should be treated that way. This LP will be packaged with the record inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket; both are placed inside a sealed outer sleeve and shipped inside a special oversized handcrafted mailer with padding on all sides. It is designed thick enough not to be bent in transit and strong enough to withstand a drop from a second-story window. More than two LPs together may be mailed inside a heavy Bags Unlimited pizza-style box. Your LP should arrive in the same condition as on the day it was shipped. All used LPs are play-graded on a VPI turntable with Audioquest tonearm and Grado cartridge.
