| "MICHAEL HURLEY is one of the most beloved cult figures of the Greenwich Village folk scene and his songs have been recorded by everyone from the Holy Modal Rounders and the Youngbloods, to Vetiver and Cat Power. First Songs, recorded in 1964 when Hurley was only 22 years old, shows that his charming, bumming, hippie, wino persona was fully formed at an early age. The album features the first recorded versions of such Snock classics as "The Werewolf Song" and "Captain Kidd." Reissued on LP for the first time ever, with deluxe packaging including faithful reproductions of the original jacket and insert." -Folkways |

Artist: V/A Title: Street and Gangland Rhythms Format: LP Label: Folkways Country: USA Price: $19.00 |
| "Subtitled: Beats and Improvisations by Six Boys In Trouble. "Originally released in 1959, this is the recording of 6 pre-teens from Harlem on bongos, and vocals. Pounding rhythms and chants convey the emotions and experiences of life in New York Citys housing projects and tenements. Heralded after the fact as an early precursor to rap music, Street and Gangland Rhythms is an important document of post-WWII urban Black America. An amazing record lovingly reissued in a perfect replica of the original Folkways jacket and including a reproduction of the original information booklet." -Folkways |
