Description
Folkways label has "117 W. 46th St," printed on it showing that this is an original 1959 pressing. The reissue has this address on the label "701 Seventh Ave". Shirley Elizabeth Collins delivers these traditional British love songs in her feathery soprano voice. She is accompanied by John Hasted, Ralph Rinzler and Guy Carawan on the guitar and five-string banjo. One of the key voices in British folk,"False True Lovers" was Shirley Collins debut album, recorded in 1959 for Smithsonian Folkways when Collins (who had just spent time collecting field recordings with the legendary Alan Lomax all around the American South) was just 23. This album, a collection of acappella British and Irish folk songs helped paved the way for the British folk revival of the 1960s, when Collins, by this time married to Ashley Hutchings, helped introduce bands like Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span to more traditional fare. a masterpiece of the genre! You will never see a cleaner copy!!
