Description
THE CRITICS GROUP - 'Poetry And Song' 12 of a series of 14 vinyl LPs issued by Argo in the 1960s.The LPs were part of an anthology to be used in secondary schools (11 - 16 years), they were edited by James Gibson and recorded in association with MacMillan & Co. Ltd. They attempted to present poetry and song as an exciting adjunct to everyday language. The Critics Group had as soloists Frankie Armstrong, Brian Byrne, Helen Campbell, Ted Culver, John Faulkner, Sandra Kerr, Paul Lenihan, A.L.Lloyd, Tom Paley, Denis Turner and Terry Yarnell. Laurie Lee, Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger also appear. Folk music was arranged by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger and directed by by Charles Parker. I think I have identified 60+ folk songs, mostly traditional and but some more recent, on these 12 LPs. The vinyls themselves are in excellent condition, the lack of spindle marks and sheen of the vinyl indicate little or no use. The sleeves are are creased to some extent but are minimum very good condition. I would not normally offer an incomplete set like these but these are rarely offered so I have made an exception as here are some of the great folk singers of the 60s. Catalogue numbers are ZPL 1095 - 1099 and ZPL 1101 - 1107, all are stereo.
