V/A Compilation ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC Vol 2: Social Music Folkways Records FA 2952, 1967. edited by Harry Smith
ORIGINAL ~ 2Lp box set
Lps nm- ex+/ cover vg / insert nm-
Easily one of the most influential musical documents ever, this series turned an entire generation onto the blues, ballads and stomps that blew through rural America during the 30’s and 40’s, and nearly became lost forever in the transition from 78-RPM to LP phonograph records. Harry Smith feverishly collected these relics from all over and released them on Folkways in a 3 (initially planned as 4) part series in the late 1950’s. Each set contains 2 LP’s and a fantastic booklet with song-by-song commentary, facsimiles of old advertisements and other Smith-chosen graphics. This pressing is from 1967 and is very difficult to find. The first edition from the 50’s is damn near impossible to find. Both versions are very sought after by collectors, and the music contained in all three sets is utterly indispensable to any serious listener.
