Description

Anthology Of American Folk Music

Volume 2 Social Music

Various Artists 

VG/EX 

Folkways FA 2952

US 1952 

Nice Early Pressing of Harry Smith's Anthology Of American Folk Music Volume 2.  Box is intact but with some wear and splits on corners and sides.  Vinyl is solid EX.  This is most likely a late 50's pressing specifically after 1958, You will notice in the photos that Disc 1 is FP 252 which is the pre-1958 pressing while Disc 2 is FA 2952 so after Folkways changed their numbering system circa 1958.  I would say that this is less a mis-matched set than common Moe Asch/Folkways practice to ship out whatever they had on hand at the time.  In any case I have seen this type of thing before in many years of collecting Folkways LP's.  No Booklet.

 

I will clean records that need cleaningafter the pictures are taken and before the LP is graded so if a picture ofa vinyl looks somewhat dirty, please note, it will be cleaned.

Please also note that the spine of the box reads FP 252 while the front cover reads FA 2952 which supports my explanation of why the discs are labeled differently.  They must have been in transition with the new numbering system which again I believe occured circa 1958.
