you all are extremely knowledgeable so i'm hoping someone can give me a little info on alan lomax's field recordings (or possibly send me to a website). i've been going through my vinyl collection and recently found a record called THE EASTERN SHORES : SOUTHERN JOURNEY 8. It was put out by Prestige International in the early '60s. It's a collection of (and I'm quoting, so it's not politically correct) "american negro folk music'. i thought maybe the '8' in the title referred to a series number (the catalog number is 25008), but the notes on the sleeve don't indicated anything like that. does anyone know? if so, what else was issued? the recording is great....
