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....
