Folk enthusiasts and savvy collectors, prepare for an exceptional find! 🤩 This audio CD by The Weavers, 'The Weavers' Almanac', is more than just a record: it's a piece of music history, rarely offered for sale in this European edition. This CD, pressed in Germany in 1991, is the European edition of the famous album 'The Weavers' Almanac' whose original recording dates back to 1963. It is therefore a respectable 35 years old! The Weavers were a pioneering American folk music quartet, formed in 1948, which popularized this genre in the 50s and 60s. With iconic members like Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman, Ronnie Gilbert, and Erik Darling (who replaced Pete Seeger in 1958), they sold millions of records and had a considerable impact on popular music. Tracks like 'Goodnight, Irene' have become timeless classics. Their journey was marked by a strong social commitment, unfortunately leading them to be blacklisted during the McCarthy era due to their progressive views. Despite this, the group continued to create powerful and committed music. 'The Weavers' Almanac' was recorded shortly before the group's dissolution in 1964, and stands as a testament to their perseverance and artistry. A timeless classic: The original album is a cornerstone of American folk music. Collector's European edition: Produced in Germany by ZYX Music GmbH under the historic Vanguard Records label, this CD was distributed across Europe, including France (with price code CA 835), the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, and Portugal. Iconic art: Joseph Low's illustration on the cover adds a unique artistic touch. Historical value: It embodies a crucial period in American music and socio-political history. This CD is not just an album to listen to, it's a piece of sound museum to own. 🎵
