Record Review part III: The Original And Great Carter Family

This was a re-issue of some of the recordings that the Carter Family did with Victor Records from RCA Victor. This re-issue was released in 1962. This is pretty decent compilation, hard to complain against The Carter Family. However, my copy was in the wrong sleeve (instead it was in the sleeve of 'Mid The Green Fields Of Virginia, a similar compilation from the same label), and the record may have had a lot of dust in the grooves, but because the recordings were transferred from 78s it could merely be the 78s, so the condition is a bit confusing. But those factors (probably) weren't RCA Victor's fault.
Overall Rating: 5/5
