Description
Original Woody Guthrie 78 RPM Album Set Asch 347.
Among Woody's earliest recordings, 1944
Guthrie himself painted the jacket image and wrote the extensive liner notes inside the cover.
Inside the back cover are the lyrics and an essay on Woody by John Steinbeck
One of the first Guthrie releases. The six songs on this 78-rpm album were recorded in a flurry of activity in April 1944, during which Guthrie, along with various musical friends such as Leadbelly and Sonny Terry, recorded at least 150 sides for Asch Records.
"Moses Asch, the co-owner of the label and who later founded Folkways Records, didn’t have the resources to issue so many recordings at once. The album 'Songs By Woody Guthrie' was released near the end of 1944 or at the beginning of 1945. Asch Records went bankrupt in 1947 which resulted in this album going out of print."
As you can see the first disc has a fairly large crack but if you manually place the needle you can hear practically the whole record.The overall condition of the records is excellent ,they don’t seem to have been played much and were well taken care of(visual grade only).See photos for condition of cover.
