Featuring nearly 300 extremely rare recordings on 10 CD's plus hardcover book including Carl Sandburg, John Allison, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, The Union Boys, The Weavers, Earl Robinson, Almanac Singers, Laura Duncan, and many others.
"This 10 CD set includes some very rare political songs. Many can be considered "folk songs" although there are also some rarities like classical-oriented Communist Party songs. If one is interested in the Almanac Singers, the early recordings of Josh White, or Peekskill, this is a must have. The book which accompanies the collection is very informative. I only give the collection 4 stars instead of 5 since there are some songs which do not hold up so well after so many years, but overall this is fantastic compilation."
