By the time of his death in 1986, he had amassed an archive of over 2,200 LPs and thousands of hours of tapes; so valuable was this collection that it was purchased by the Smithsonian Institute. Folkways Records is an account of how he built this business, working against all odds, to create a landmark in the history of American music.Sound recording industryUnited StatesHistorySound recording executives and producersUnited StatesBiographySound recording industryHistory.Sound recording executives and producers781.62/13/0092BOlmsted Anthony.1583291MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790645503321Folkways records3866248UNINA
