Edited 2 years agoHumongous 9-LP set showcasing some genuinely rare & obscure Canadian 60's folk. ...**Easily the best and most-complete vinyl collection of Canadiana and Quebecois folk that you'll ever find !
Released as a limited edition project on Radio Canada International (and RCA) to commemorate Canada's Centennial (1867-1967), this is an impressive 9 volume (118 song) collection of English & French traditional folk songs performed by a veritable who's who of Canadian performers that include: Yves Albert, Helene Baillargeon, Louise Forestier, Alan Mills, Raoul Roy, Joyce Sullivan, Diane Oxner, Jacques Labrecque, Chales Jordan, Tom Kines and Jean Price.....with musical arrangements by Art Morrow, guitarists Buck Lacombe, Hank Monis and Lawrence Lepage.
