“George Harrison once famously said “No Lead Belly, no Beatles.” This new Masterworks collection is a testament to Harrison’s quote. The richness of his legacy is shown to its full extent in this superb 2 CD Limited Edition collection called Leadbelly Masterworks Volumes 1 & 2. The Telegraph called this collection “Brilliant.” It includes two CDs covering over two hours of music, over 40 tracks. Disc one represents his most famous master recordings. Six of the “live performances” on disc 2 are previously unreleased and the include some wonderful rarities. Only 3000 units have been pressed, numbered and there is no Digital release for this title.”
