Description

HERE ARE two trenchant, urgent folk songs, by one of the greatest, and longest-lived (1919-2014)  practitioners: PETE SEEGER:  


ENCORE 101 "TALKING ATOM" and "NEWSPAPER MEN" EE- 

CHARTER 25 "TRAVELIN'" and "DEATH OF HARRY SIMS" - "WINSBORO COTTON MILL BLUES" EE- 


Both from 1947, these are two of the records spun out in response to the McCarthy Era, the H.U.A.C. and the general oppressive atmosphere of those years.   


These records came from the folk music collection of the late HOWARD FELDMAN (1917 - 1998).  


*****

 

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
