この内、下記3曲については歌詞が差別的だとかで未収録であり、
約4秒間の無音となっている。
DISC-1 5. Bill & Belle Reed “You Shall Be Free”
DISC-2 4. The Bentley Boys “Henhouse Blues”
DISC-4 16. Uncle Dave Macon “I’m the Child to Fight”
そういうことも含めて記録だと思うのだが、このご時世では仕方がないのかな。
You Tubeにはあるので、それで代用してDAPに入れた。
Bill & Belle Reed “You Shall Be Free”
The Bentley Boys “Henhouse Blues”
Uncle Dave Macon “I’m the Child to Fight”
こういうじっくり聴けるCDはお買い得感がある。
