Description

This is a like-new copy of the "American Primitive Vol. 1" compilation 2LP, released on John Fahey's Revenant imprint in 2005. This is now OOP. It's a high-quality release, which you would expect from Revenant: Heavy gatefold jacket, long liner notes, with each clear record housed in a thick sleeve. These inner sleeves have some very minor thumbprints on them, but that's the only real flaw I can see in the whole package.

Label description: "77-minutes of gut-bucket, early gospel from the collections of Gayle Dean Wardlow and John Fahey."
