In its day this article received much critical acclaim.
If you're trying to figure out how to get Leadbelly's complete LoC recordings, this article will tell you how to do it.
I've been thinking I should revisit the ARC recordings. I have done this many times, but I always have concluded I did not like them. Leadbelly seems to shout too much. Perhaps the mike is just too close.The recordings I recall listening to are the following:http://www.amazon.com/Leadbelly/dp/B0000024W1/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_14http://www.amazon.com/King-12-String-Guitar-Leadbelly/dp/B0000027DD/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1313172361&sr=1-1I believe both of these are 1935 ARC recordings. Is there a better version?
I see many ARC recordings are listed as unissued and there is no indication of any release (78, LP or CD). Do these even exist?
I never understood this reasoning, since Jelly Roll Morton used drums on his early recordings and they seemed to work out OK.)
