Description

This lot includes a double CD box set (2 CDs) titled "American Folk Music - Volume Three Songs," published by Folkways Records. The visible cover features a blue-grey background with gold and white typography, typical of carefully produced reissues of American folk music. The track titles and artist names are clearly listed on the front, allowing for direct identification of the musical content. The graphic design is simple, focusing on authenticity and legibility, with a classic rectangular layout and quality printing.

Visible tracks include American folk and blues classics such as "The Coo Coo Bird," "East Virginia," "Single Girl," "Expressman Blues," and "Fishing Blues." Artists mentioned include Clarence Ashley, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Cannon's Jug Stompers, and Henry Thomas, representing the diversity of traditional American styles. The box set was compiled by Harry Smith, a reference in the field of folk music archiving. The reference number FP 253 is indicated at the bottom right of the cover.

The visible CD case is a standard square shape, made of transparent plastic, revealing the printed cover. No major defects are observable on the visible side, apart from some light reflections that do not affect legibility. The set has a clean and well-maintained appearance, with effective protection for the discs inside (not visible here).

The overall aesthetic of the box set evokes the world of American blues, folk, and country, with typography and a color palette reminiscent of reissues from the second half of the 20th century. This type of compilation is aimed at fans of authentic and timeless sounds, seeking a listening experience true to period recordings.

The mention "2 CD" appears on the spine of the case, confirming the double-disc format. The set is presented on a textured red background, probably a textile surface, with a Christmas ornament decoration in the background, which does not affect the object itself.

Did you know? The "Anthology of American Folk Music" series, compiled by Harry Smith for Folkways Records, played a key role in the rediscovery of American folk and blues as early as the 1950s. These compilations inspired many major artists of the 1960s folk revival, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
