In
1962, CBS records released a large collection of folk songs by some of
the most respected folk performers of the day. I don't know what
marketing channels were used, but my parents bought a four album boxed
set called Folk Song & Minstrelsy. A few years ago, I ripped it to mp3, and arranged it onto 3 cds. 128 VBR and higher.
