For those who may not know, John Fahey's Revenant label has released a wonderful 2-CD set - Volume IV of the Anthology exactly as Smith had planned. As Harry said, 'There were supposed to be four volumes, you know, like for earth, air, fire and water; red, blue, yellow and green'. The red, blue and green editions constituted the first three volumes, issued in 1952. Volume IV is described in the Revenant issue as: 'being a compendium of musical sound recordings compiled by Harry Smith of Bellingham, Washington, with accompanying descriptive texts supplied by several noteworthy persons - Ed Sanders, John Cohen, Dick Spottswood, Greil Marcus, John Fahey'. The catalogue number is Revenant CD RVN 211. The Revenant set is beautifully presented as a CD-sized hardcover book and is essential for anyone who loves the original sets.
