  140 gram 7XLP in a special multiple sleeve record storage set + 20 page booklet

  7LP box set of authentic field recordings made by Alan Lomax (and British folk singer Shirley Collins) in 1959 for Atlantic Records. Meant as a kind of follow-up to Alan and his father John Lomax’s legendary work for the Library of Congress in the 1930s, Lomax (now with hi-fi stereo equipment) once again set out for the Southern states on a two month long tour that resulted in over 80 hours of recordings! The recordings were divided by genre and released in 1960 as a series of 7LPs now available in one deluxe box set with a 16 page booket!
