HOBART SMITH The Old Timey Rap 1969 UK TOPIC - TRAD APPALACHIAN FOLK - TOP COPY
HOBART SMITHThe Old Timey Rap
A Collection of American Songs and Instrumentals
One of the most sadly overlooked masters of Appalachian folk music, Hobart Smith may not be widely known outside of those who happened to either see him at a '60s folk festival or the nascent folkies who were directly influenced by his banjo and guitar styles, but he arguably remains one of the finest performers his genre and era produced

LABELS: MINT
An immaculate set of labels - no spindle traces or any sign the record has ever been played
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
The surfaces have some light misting and a few pressing blemishes but these are purely cosmetic
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Looks unplayed but my one careful play-check at volume found the odd one-off tick and light touch of surface between some the tracks - nothing to spoil the crisp and fresh authentic sound
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Fine example with a deep glossy sheen to the front laminate and a pretty clean untreated white back - all edges are sharp and all text on the spine is clear and bold
