Description

Merle Travis – Folk Songs of the Hills – Capitol Records (1947).
For sale is an original 3-disc* vintage Capitol Records album set featuring Merle Travis’s Folk Songs of the Hills, released in May of 1947. This historic recording was issued as a 78 RPM shellac album, housed in the original Capitol binder-style sleeve.
*Please refer to the photos for details. This set is missing disc four. Tracks in this set are listed below. Discs all appear to be in very good condition, but as I do not have the means to play test the discs, I cannot grade them.  However, they look very shiny and in excellent condition for their age. The album binder is in very good condition but, again, please refer to the photos. Given the nearly 80-year age, there is some faint edge wear and a light scratch/scar on Merle's face on the front cover (back cover doesn't have this).
Tracks:

  • Sixteen Tons
  • Dark as a Dungeon
  • That's All
  • Over By Number Nine
  • I Am a Pilgrim
  • Muskrat
