JEAN RITCHIE - Traditional British Ballads, Vol. 2

Description: JEAN RITCHIE - Traditional British Ballads, Vol. 2 - Child Ballads Ed1 Near Mint Description The revival of Folk Music that began in the mid-20th Century ("Contemporary Folk Music") has had a profound and continuing effect on the Development and History of Recorded Music. It came at the same time (early 1950's) that the new innovation in recording technology began its transition to the 33 ⅓ RPM Vinyl "Long Play", and away from its earliest form of 78 RPM shellac. Much of the newer music forms that followed had "roots" in these poetic melodies. The emotions stirred with the tales telling of melancholy, folklore, custom, and cultural identity provide continuity to the lyrical processes of our nation's oral traditions. Stinson Records, Folkways Records and Elektra were among the standout organizations in the recording and manufacturing of these national treasures. Jean Ritchie Traditional British Ballads (Child Ballads) In The Southern Mountains - Volume II Label : Folkways Records - FA 2302 (on the cover) & FS 2302 (on both labels) / Original 1st Edition Plastylite Pressing - Please See Below for the Deadwax Matrixes Format : 12" 33⅓ RPM Analog Mono Vinyl Record, 8 Page Lyrics Insert and Album Cover Country : United States Released : 1961 Genre : Folk / World / Country THE VINYL : NEAR MINT NM : This beautiful record is lightly played with minimal evidence of spindlewear (please see close up photos of the labels). Both sides of the LP surface retain all of their original gloss. Present is some light sleevewear from the original paper inner sleeve, and a few shallow scuffs that are cosmetic and will likely produce no or minimal audio interference. Bright, undamaged, Blue and Silver Folkways Records Labels (please see photos). The Record shows exceptional care and handling. A Note About The Recording Technology: In the early 1950’s, the invention of "Long Play" Vinyl Records (33 1/3 RPM) was a new analog Mono technology that became more commercially popular than the existing 78 RPM shellac recordings. While these early Monos are Great Treasures, they can playback with what we modern music listeners call "background noise", and an occasional click or pop. Improved mono recording methods later pioneered by Rudy Van Gelder (and others), and then Stereo in late 1950, reduced this noise problem. Our grading evaluations examine the record condition as a result of use after it was manufactured.
