JOAN BAEZ: FOLKSINGERS 'ROUND HARVARD SQUARE
In the late '50s, prior to signing with Vanguard, Joan Baez recorded this album in a basement, sometimes performing with Bill Wood and Ted Alevizos. It wasn't wholly Baez' album, as only six of the 12 tracks were Baez solo performances. It's a basic recording that is primarily of historical interest, although - as those things go - it has definite value. In 1963, it was issued by Squire Records as The Best of Joan Baez, but was withdrawn after it had made the Top 50, when Baez took legal action against it.
