RSD 2016 release. Limited edition of 800. At the beginning of Shirley Collins's recording career in 1959, she recorded a series of limited 7" EPs for the Collector Records label, which have since become quite rare. This remastered reissue of English Songs Volume 2 (the third of her Collector EPs) is presented in a front-laminated, flipback sleeve, just like the original, and an inner sleeve illustrated with rare photographs. This is the first time this iconic record has been made available as a vinyl EP since its original release. "Shirley Collins is without doubt one of England's greatest cultural treasures." --Billy Bragg
