Post Description

Folk.

Topic turns 85 this year, which makes it one of the – if not the – oldest independent record label in the world. A good reason to celebrate, then, by putting together this compilation of some of the finest moments in the label’s history. We’ve concentrated on their folk side (they have an incredible set of world music and field recordings that deserve their own CDs), including tracks from the dawn of the ’60s folk revival right up to brand new material expected this year. Perhaps most excitingly, there’s an entirely unheard Anne Briggs recording, due as a bonus track this year on the upcoming deluxe reissue of her self-titled album.

Spellbinding stuff, though the other 14 tracks here are just as magical, from Richard Thompson’s “The Light-Bob’s Lassie” to Lal Waterson & Oliver Knight’s “So Strange Is Man”.

Staat er compleet op, 10% pars mee gepost. Met zeer veel dank aan de originele poster. Laat af en toe eens weten wat je van het album vindt. Altijd leuk, de mening van anderen. Oh ja, MP3 doe ik niet aan.
