Thread Name: Folkways Records still available
Subject: RE: Folkways Records still available
Dick,
Thr Lomax material (eventually 150 CDs) that Rounder is reissuing is not from Folkways. It is from the Alan Lomax Archives; much of it field recordings.
The entire Folkways catalogue is available from Smithsonian Folkways, either as remastered reissues on the Smithsonian Folkways label, or as custom CD-Rs or cassettes.
Rounder was Smithsonian Folkways' distributor early on. However, they switched to Koch quite a few years ago now.
