Various : ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC / VOLUME THREE : SONGS DOUBLE LP BOX (Folkways [USA] FA 2953)
Records are Excellent with minimal light marks only (amazingly clean for Folkways LPs). The box is VG+ with a cut-out hole (all the way through), a 3" split in the middle-top of the back panel (see photo), a clean split at the top-right corner of the front panel, and some minimal wear to the slick. With 12-page booket (not stapled, just three sheets folded together), with notes for all three volumes (all three had the same booklet). This is the third volume of the massively important and great Anthology series, compiled by legendary artist / filmmaker / archivist Harry Smith, and originally issued as three double-LP sets in 1952. This one has a purple-toned slick and looks to be a late '60s pressing with "632 Broadway" address on two labels, no address on two labels, and "632 Broadway" address and 1966 copyright on the box. In compliling this series, Smith rescued a wealth of lost recordings of American folk, blues, bluegrass, gospel, etc, and pretty much single-handedly began what would become the "folk revival" of the '60s (of which one of the major themes was seeking out the performers on these sets to be newly recorded, play folk festivals, etc).
