Notes

"This recording is Mr. Fahey's initial public statement, somewhat revised in 1964 to repair some defects that he and the publisher felt had crept in to the original during the feverous preparations for issuance during the hot summer of 1959. Those who possess the original will doubtless be interested to compare the versions to see which parts the composer felt suitable for change after a five year period." - Sir Joshua Reynolds - on back cover

This is largely a reissue of the Blind Joe Death lp from 1959, however some portions have been re-recorded.

Black labels with silver print.

On the back cover the tracks for side 2 are listed first, followed by the tracks for side 1, and the track list is numbered 1 to 10.
