Mississippi Records is proud to present a reproduction of the "Anthology Of American Folk Music" as it originally was released in 1952. Each volume is a double LP, housed in a cloth bound super thick cardboard gatefold sleeve with a tip on print on the front. In the gatefold there is a pouch with a reproduction of the original liner notes. The vinyl is 200 gram, and great pains have been taken to reproduce the LPs just as they originally were designed by Harry Smith. All the materials and mastering are as top notch as possible.

It's hard to even begin to talk about the significance of these eight albums. Harry Smith created an alternate version of American culture with these sets that influenced just about everyone who heard them, and changed American society more than any others ever released. Bob Dylan and Carl Sagan both agree it's the greatest record ever made. As mythic and powerful as art can get - every record collection must have this set. Limited one time pressing not to be missed.
