Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE------------------BURL IVES: THE WAYFARING STRANGER LP.There is no album ever recorded that represents folk music better then "The Wayfaring Stranger" by Burl Ives. It is a true classic filled with traditional folk tunes. There is also no better choice to use to introduce yourself to or get to know more about folk music then this album. The songs consist of Burl Ives singing and accompanying himself on the guitar. That is arguably what makes this album so great. No fancy gimmicks or over the top productions. Just Burl, the songs and the microphone.This isn't like the folk music of Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, or Joan Baez. These are not social protest songs that helped to inspire a generation to tackle the major issues of the 1960's. This is folk music at its basic roots. In many ways it is like a history album of Americana tracing the path of folk music as it spread through the south and west. As you listen to this album you may find that you remember many of these songs from your childhood. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!This is theORIGINALCOLUMBIACL 6109NONBREAKABLE 10" record.Thecoverhas been taped top and bottom due to seam-spliting, and the record has numerous visible scratches under normal light!(It has seen a much playing!) Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. So buy now to own this magnificent, impossible-to-findRECORD COLLECTIBLE.**A NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE RECORD BUYERS** Despite my attempt to keep my ads informative, yet as simple and uncomplicated as possible, I have realized that record purchasers are another “breed” entirely. As a result, I am deluged with questions both bizarre, and occasionally frivolous. I have even received a “warning” prior to shipment to a winning buyder telling me exactly what he expected----or else! I therefore find it necessary to include this explanation of what to expect from me should you choose tobuy this or any of my other listed records. To begin, all of these records come from my personal collection. I bought most of them in the 1960’s in new condition—although some came from close-out bins. Almost every one has been played only once or twice (it is a huge collection—how many times could I listen to them?!) Being a collector, I also took extremely good care of them. On the other hand, I was, and am, completely UNKNOWLEDGEABLE about details that “real” collectors have. To begin with, the term “excellent” describes the fact that I looked at the record under a normal lamp light and did not see obvious flaws. If I notice a scratch, I will mention it. I also will say a cover is “perfect” unless I see obvious tears or major stains. I say “original” because most were purchased 50-odd years ago and I want to distinguish them from newer releases---on the other hand, I have no knowledge of dates of pressings. And now, to the most important part---I have noticed other record sellers posting huge disclaimers discussing the scurrilous practices of some buyers, such as “switching” records that they purchase for others of the same title that they already own that are in considerably worse condition. Or, purchasing a record, and trying to negotiate a lower price after receipt of the merchandise with a threat of negative feedback. I am also sure that there are less-than-honest sellers out there. My position is simply this---my positive feedback speaks for itself----I try to sell exactly what I describe---within the parameters of my own knowledge. If my ad does not include information you require, please ask before you buy and I will try to answer promptly and to the best of my ability. If I cannot—don’t buy! Also, always understand that you are purchasing a used record---records are known to have clicks, pops, distortions, even occasional slight warping. They had these flaws when I purchased them. If it did not affect their play, I was not concerned. I was listening to the music. If you are expecting perfect sound----buy the CD! I even stupidly accepted return of a record that I was told was not an original, only to re-sell it to a collector who said it certainly was an original. I presume the original buyer recorded it, since it was not available on CD. Those days are over for me. If youbuy it, you own it. Everything I mail is sent wrapped in bubble pack and special (expensive) record mailers. I aim to please---as my feedback shows---but if you want to see or hear your record before buying, please go to a record store---not eCRATER. I apologize for having to write this----but I thank you for reading it.ALL OF MY LISTINGS ARE BETTER THAN AN product!! IF YOUSEEK OUTINCENTIVES LIKE FREE SHIPPING-------- YOU'VE GOT IT!!!
