Description:
New York: Flatiron Press, 1962. First Edition. Octavo. Printed wrappers; [iv, 16pp]. Inscribed inside front wrapper to the Greenwich-village folk-music impresario Izzy Young, dated 1962. Mild discoloration to front wrapper, else Fine. A significant association, joining two of the great figures of the 1960s folk revival. Allan Block (1923-2013) was the long-time proprietor of the Allan Block Sandal Shop, on West 4th Street, which would become one of the twin hubs of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the Sixties. The other hub was Izzy Young's Folklore Center, located a few blocks away on MacDougal Street, and performances from either venue were known to disperse from one locality only two coalesce at the other; Bob Dylan, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Geoff and Maria Muldaur, Dave Van Ronk, and a host of others were frequent visitors to both venues. This book scarce, as are all of Block's early collections published under the "Flatiron Press" imprint.

Uncommon, historic work by Mitsui, a professor of English at Kanazawa Univeristy in Japan, and his country's foremost scholar on country music. In his bibliographical survey of bluegrass material, Scott Hambly notes the existence of three book-length historical surveys of the genre: Mitsui's Burugurasu Ongaku (1967), Steven D. Price's Old as the Hills: The Story of Bluegrass Music (1975), and Bluegrass by Bob Artis (1975) [cf. JEMFQ 16, no.59 (Fall 1980), pp.118-120]. While a number of shorter articles on the genre had been publisher earlier, Mitsui's work is widely considered the first full-length scholarly study on Bluegrass, illustrated with black and white photographs of Bill Monroe, Rusty York, Tex…

Description:
N.p., 1965. Original four-color screenprint, 89cm x 57cm (ca 35" x 22-1/2"), on heavy white poster stock. Signed in pencil lower right, dated 1965. Light edgewear; darkening and adhesive tape remnants to verso; image bright and clean - Very Good to Near Fine. Striking portrait of a folksinger with a twelve-string guitar. Though untitled, the image bears a strong resemblance to Newman's 2009 poster-portrait of Pete Seeger, who we strongly suspect is the subject of this piece as well. Rare image by the talented West Coast printmaker Earl Newman (b. 1930), who began designing posters for the California music scene in the late 1950s. Some of his best-known designs have been his annual posters for the Monterey Jazz Festival, which he began producing in 1963.
