Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1975. PP [xii], 75, 79. (Two volumes in one.) "The songs in these volumes have been selected from 'Cecil Sharp's Collection of English Folk Songs' [Oxford University Press, 1974] which comprises 413 separate songs (1165 tune-variants). In this collection all tunes and texts have been transcribed without alteration from Cecil Sharp's notebooks in the way that he noted them from the traditional singers." Some light-induced colour fade to the spine of the unclipped dust jacket. Both book and jacket are otherwise in excellent condition. The dust jacket is enclosed within an easily removable clear plastic protective cover. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions.
