Item Description
12.5x12.5" album with 33-1/3 record subtitled "Songs Of The Freedom Riders." First three paragraphs of jacket notes read: "Bob Shelton of the New York Times said in an article about Freedom Songs, (Aug. 20, 1962) "Negro Folk Music, Which Has Been Singing Of A Promised Land Since The Days Of Slavery, Has Become A Vital Force In Fulfilling That Promise Of The South Today." Shelton is quite correct and that "Vital Force" is captured in this historic recording. Many of those who are singing SIT-IN SONGS: SONGS OF THE FREEDOM RIDERS here had just come out of jail before the record was cut. They were still fired up with the "folk process" which makes an album like this possible. These kids are out to change the world and you can tell it by the way they sing. When they sing 'We Shall Overcome' they aren't kidding. Listen to them and you can hear the sincerity in their voices." Released by Audio Fidelity copyright 1962. Record is Exc. showing barely any wear. Album has minor tanning of edges but is clean and Fine. Historic. First we've seen.
