 The comments made by Sladesounds are absolutely correct. So many historical recordings such as these are treated in a way that would display the compiler as someone who believed the music was, at best, a secondary type of music where no one would take notice anyway. A far cry from the days of Folkways, sadly.

Issued as part of the American Epic series which accompanies the TV series.

On the plus side these are original 78 recordings, restored and remastered using a mixture of analog and digital technology, therefore sounding fantastic. Pressed on 180g vinyl, housed in a heavy stock, soft touch sleeve they are a delight to hold (and listen to).

On the down side, no liner notes, incorrect listing on the label (corrected with a printed apology as an insert). Although recording dates and locations are given, simple facts such as composer credits are missing. Personally, with a record of such historical importance as these recordings are, I would like to know more details about the original 78s, such as what were the original cat#s, ideally scans of those 78 labels and details of who the personnel at the recordings were. It would also have been nice for some liner notes explaining to the uninitiated, the importance of the recordings and where they fit in with the evolution of American music (and why).

Worth buying - yes. This is classic American music that helped shape the music we listen to today.

I just think its a shame that more information regarding the recordings was not made available even as a single page printed insert and really Third Man, how did you miss the track listing error on the sleeve prior to printing? Hope someone got a slap on the wrist for that one!
