For this box set, compiled by Director Bernard MacMahon, engineer Nicholas Bergh refined a transfer process using a mix of both modern and vintage equipment in order to extract the remarkable resolution from the records that is often missed. This reverse engineering approach to the transfer process enabled the restoration team of Grammy Award-winning engineer Peter Henderson, Duke Erikson and Joel Tefteller to get the resulting audio closer to the original performance than ever before. This is not \"remastering,\" in the normal sense, but something closer to fine art restoration. The intent is not for people to marvel at the antiquity of these discs, but rather to experience them as vital, immediate performances that speak to us as directly as they did on the day they were recorded not simply great art for their time, but great art for all times. It includes a 100-page book filled with stunning unpublished photographs, quotes from the artists, their friends and families, lyrics for every song, essays and recording notes. Among the artists included are Mississippi John Hurt, The Carter Family, Charley Patton, Jimmie Rodgers, Lydia Mendoza, Nelstone's Hawaiians, Big Chief Henry's String Band, Robert Johnson and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Coo Coo Bird (The Cuckoo) Ashley Clarence   2:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On the Road Again Memphis Jug Band   2:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Panama Limited White Bukka   3:12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Indian War Whoop Ming Hoyt and His Pep Steppers   3:11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 'Tain't Nobody's Business If I Do Pt. 1 Stokes Frank   3:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e K.
