ReviewsRanked #1 on Spin's List of "Top 10 Reissues.", Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", "...this definitive collection of blues, country, and gospel recordings inspired the American folk revival after its release in 1952. Now painstakingly remixed and remastered...ANTHOLOGY retains the primitive power of those seminal 78s while meeting the more exacting audio standards of the digital age." - Rating: A, "...an exhaustively annotated six-CD set that has no competition as reissue of the year....between strength of material and force of vision, Harry Smith did nothing less than create a canon. At a time when folk music included Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie,...and the Lomax corpus, Harry Smith convinced the world that there was something far weirder and more exciting...", 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...it is impossible to overstate the historic worth, sociocultural impact and undiminished vitality of the music in this set, and of Smith's idiosyncratic scholarship and instinctive wisdom....a bedrock of our national musical identity..."

  • Great set of cds. Perfect condition. Great value.

    The only one of these I found in the states would have cost me over eight times as much.
