The scoop

The Folk Box was released by Elektra Records in 1964 and consisted of four LP's with each side featuring a particular style of Folk or Traditional music. From what I read, this was an excellent collection. Since this ad was ran seven years after its release, it was most likely a way to unload unsold copies. For those interested, listed below are the styles of folk music featured in each LP side.

Side 1: Songs of the Old World and Migration to the New

Side 2: Settling, Exploring and Growing in the New World

Side 3: Work Song

Side 4: Many Worshippers, One God

Side 5: Country Music - From Ballads to Bluegrass

Side 6: Nothing But The Blues

Side 7: Of War, Love and Hope

Side 8: Broadsides, Topical Songs, Protest Songs
