Three Score and Ten: A Voice to the People: 70 years of the oldest independent record label in Great Britain Topic Records This is THE record label of Britain: born in a political maelstrom, dedicated to 'the people' from day one right through to today. They might well have defined British folk music itself, in some ways. So for their 70th anniversary, what better way to celebrate than with a 7 CD set, 144 cuts, packaged in a 10" x 10", marvelously printed and plated hardback book filled with full-color, illustrated pages depicting the label's story since its inception in 1939 to present day, with complete recording history, essential recording profiles and artists. Stunning, essential, highly recommended. US orders only: Outside of US: Click Here
