AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC Vol. 3  SONGS edited by Harry Smith   FOLKWAYS FA 2953 DEAD WAX:  SIDE A: FP 253 A 3T SIDE B: FA 2953 B -2 1- 2 11- 62 SIDE C: FP 253-C-2 3T PB 2953 C SIDE D: FP 253 D 3T Has the original Folkways 117 W. 46 St. NYC address on label. Later pressings (1966 etc.) have 7th Ave address. Thick vinyl . I assume it is either a 2nd 1950's or early '60s pressing.  The first was FA 253 1952  In the dead wax are the #'s 3 62. Perhaps that means March 1962.
VINYL: looks VG++ / ex  plays  VG to VG+ BOX: VG- box has a lot of tape repairs on all corners & along 1 edge I just did a basic hand cleaning. I don't have a machine.

GRADING

NM  Should sound new. Record and cover appear virtually

unmarked, Might be 1 or 2 almost unnoticeable marks.

Cover in shrink.

VG++ Should sound almost NM or not far from it.

VG+   Used but not abused. Will have some relatively slight audible &/or visual imperfections.

VG  Still  enjoyable but there will be quite obvious visual & audible imperfections.

In this condition cover flaws will be noted or pictured.

VG- Same as VG but defects are more pronounced.

G+  Still playable but thats the best that can be said.

100% ACCURACY IN GRADING RECORDS IS A JOB FOR SUPERMAN!

At times defects will show up differently on different players.  For instance,

depending on the weight that a tone arm is set at or the quality of the stylus

what is just a pop on one player can sometimes be a skip on another
