{"product_id":"maccoll-ewan-ballads-cd-mint-m-mint-m","title":"MacColl, Ewan - Ballads (CD) | Mint (M) Mint (M)","description":"The great traditional ballads are storytelling at its dark, urgent best and the greatest exponent of this folk art was Ewan MacColl.Traditional narrative ballads are at the centre of the British Folk Tradition. They told stories which helped define the English and Scottish national characters; stories about murder and intrigue, love and discord on both the epic and domestic scale, but stories that told us about ourselves. Ewan MacColl was the folk revival's greatest proponent of the ballad; ballads were central to his conception of the folk revival and at the core of his recordings and performances. His commitment showed in his performances, where the story was everything. No one who ever witnessed him performing one of the great ballads live will ever forget it. BALLADS: Murder, Intrigue, Love, Discord is a great selection of performances originally released in 1956 and never before on CD. This beautiful double CD is lovingly remastered and packaged in a slipcase with a 64 page booklet with extensive notes and full texts of all the songs.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2CD Jewel Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Topic Records Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-TS-576\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MacColl, Ewan","offers":[{"title":"- FOLK *NEW*","offer_id":45105162846323,"sku":"JFETPI-XJCO-V7","price":15.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/folk-new_5g0Sv.jpg?v=1781531590","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/maccoll-ewan-ballads-cd-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
