Description
The Ballad Hunter, Parts 3 to 4. Library of Congress AAFS, L50. John Avery Lomax was a teacher, musicologist, and you can read his Wikipedia entry to see his importance to documenting American Music. Perhaps most important were his field recordings and his recording of Leadbelly and assistance in fostering his career. This records is from a series of 10 radio recordings made for the Library of Congress Radio Research Project which was begun in 1941. These were originally released on 16” transcription discs for radio and as far as I know were not sold to the public in the 1940s. These 12” LPs are the first release to the public. Pressed in black vinyl so is a vintage reissue. “Adventures of a Ballad Hunter” was the title of Lomax’ Autobiography. Has copy of original booklet in Library of Congress.
Programs are: III. Chisholm Trail: Cowboy songs along the famous old cattle trail. IV. Rock Island Line: Woodcutter’s songs and songs of prison life.
Record jackets are in archival sleeves and the vinyl is also in an archival inner sleeve.
Covers are NM with some light soiling & there is a musty smell so they were stored somewhere slightly damp at one point. Record #4 has more extensive foxing/soiling. Records do show a couple of light spindle marks so they have been played. Visual grade of VG+ to NM.

Shipping: Shipping may be calculated from the link below for both domestic and foreign buyers. Note that although I've listed a 15 day handling period most items will ship within a day or two of payment. However, sometimes things cause a delay as this is strictly a one-man operation.
Discounts: I combine orders to save on shipping but you need to wait for me to send you a bill. This applies to domestic & foreign. Another reason to wait for a bill is I give many discounts on shipping that depend upon the final price of the item, what I paid for it, (my mood), etc.
Foreign buyers will get a discount equivalent to what I would give to a US destination. Foreign buyers will be responsible for any customs fees or taxes. Note that there may be customs delays that are outside of my control.
