From the Revenant website:  Harry Smith was a true polymath--avant-garde filmmaker,
alchemist, occultist, folklorist, painter, magician, archivist and expert on string figures, paper airplanes,
and Ukrainian painted eggs--but is perhaps best known for his pioneering three-volume Anthology
of American Folk Music, originally released in 1952 and reissued to great acclaim in 1997 by Smithsonian/Folkways.
Compiled by Harry Smith contemporaneously with the first three volumes, Volume 4 of Harry's
historic Anthology went unissued for almost 50 years. Til now.

In conjunction with the Harry Smith Archives, Revenant presents Smith's "secret volume" in its intended song sequence,
including tracks by the Monroe Bros., Carter Family, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Lead Belly, Uncle Dave Macon and Sleepy
John Estes. Featuring the first in-depth narrative on Smith and his work, with essays by Harry's friend Ed Sanders (the Fugs),
John Cohen (New Lost City Ramblers), John Fahey, Dick Spottswood and Greil Marcus, and previously unpublished photos,
including a teenage Harry Smith engineering some of his earliest field recordings. 

Bid high! These records are neat!

Q: Will I combine shipping costs for multiple items? A: You bet. All records are original issue unless noted.

Hi, my name is Derek Erdman and I'm soon going to be moving across the country and will be selling
off most of my collection before I do it. If you like this record, see my other auctions for more like it:
rock, indie, punk, jazz, soul, house, blues, classical, you name it. There are so many of them and they
are all good. I worked in the record business for 15 years & have collected since I was a child & now
they absolutely all have to go.

Please look below for shipping costs & check my feedback - I'm good at eBay!

NEAR MINT (NM) Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that
do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming
evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully.
Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of
a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not
affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD (VG) Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl
luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but
should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of
these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD (G) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record
should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent,
but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR (P) Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be
seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
