Hello and welcome. Beginning in the 1960s, I made it my goal to collect every 5-star record still available, and I continued my search for 40 years. While not all the records I list for sale reached that lofty goal, they do represent an undying search for the unique and wonderful in the world of sound. I'm happy to be able to offer them to you now. Here is what you're bidding on:   
TITLE & ARTIST: "THE FOLK BOX" - by Various Artists on the Elektra Record label (EKL-9001), in beautiful original sound, issued circa 1969.    CONDITION: BOX - Excellent(Box is in good condition with some edge and corner wear, owing to several moves since I purchased it; there is a small sticker tear front top right corner - please see actual box set in photos); VINYL - Near Mint(Vinyl (All four records) are glowing and clean, ready to bring you the best vintage Folk music you've ever heard; SPECIAL NOTE:This is the very rare RED-Label version of this set - visually graded under special daylight balanced spotlight).   
SPECIAL FEATURES: This collection is almost beyond description. It's a tribute to both Elektra and Folkways Records as much as anybody. Two of the finest early folk labels, Elektra/Folkways has taken 83 classic tunes from throughout the formative years of the Folk Revival, mastered them beautifully and compiled them on four glowing vinyl records with their deep-groove pressings. Then they added an extensive 48-page "Folkways-like" booklet (in excellent condition) with complete lyrics and discographies for each artist and song included, plus dozens of vintage photos. Any further discussion would be damning with faint praise. Here's the low down: Don't miss this jewel.  
TRACKS: The records are divided into the following categories: 1-Songs of the Old World and Migration to the New; 2-Settling, Exploring and Growing In the New World; 3-Work Song; 4-Many Worshippers/One God; 5-Country Music from Ballads to Bluegrass; 6-Nothing But the Blues; 7-Of War, Love and Hope; 8-Broadside, Topical Songs, Protest Songs. Please find specific track information at other internet sales locations. Thanks so much!    
If you have further questions about condition or content, please don't hesitate to ask. You may bid with unworried confidence. Our sales history is your assurance of absolute integrity. Thank you and good luck.  
OUR GRADING SYSTEM: We grade visually, and we are happy to listen to any LP and give you an aural grade as well. SS (Still Sealed as from the factory); NM (Near Mint - our highest grade; the vinyl has only a very few light marks that do not affect play); VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus - a few more light marks than Near Mint; still a great record that plays near perfectly); VG+ (Very Good Plus - an enjoyable, played and loved, obviously used but still listenable record, usually with some light pops, but free of major audible distraction; jacket may be lightly worn, slightly dinged, even very lightly split, but NEVER trashed); VG (Very Good) and below - we usually do NOT sell these, but if we have some good reason to offer such a record, we will explain completely).
