This Folkways 2 LP Box "American Folk Music Volume 2: Social Music" was selected and edited by Harry Smith.  The box is immaculate.  I conservatively graded this at VG+.  The LPs are fantastic, no surface wear whatsoever.  Again, graded at VG+.  The original booklet is included with the album, lovingly and charmingly noted in ballpoint pen by the original owner, in no way obscuring the original information.  The set features the following tracks:
