You are bidding on a Rare 1972 The Hammons Family A study of a West Virginia Family's Tradition 2 LP Folk record box set. This Library of Congress box set is in great shape for it's age. The records look near mint and unplayed. I did find one small imperfection on the outside edge of one of the records which might come off with a proper cleaning(see photo). They are a little dusty and have not tried to clean them. The 36 page booklet has a lot of interesting information and is in great shape with no ripped, written on or missing pages. The box shows some light wear with no torn corners.

This Lp, subtitled "A study of a West Virginia's family tradition", is an attempt to describe with sounds, words and photographs, the life and folklore of a rural Appalachian family, whose ancestors came from Britain and were early pioneers and settlers in Kentucky and the Allegheny mountains. Music was an important part of the family life and the album includes many banjo and fiddle tunes along with ballads and stories. The recordings and research were done by Alan Jabbour, Carl Fleischhauer and Dwight Diller in the beggining of the 1970's for the Library of Congress in Washington.
