FW-ASCH-7RR-2781 is a "dub" of songs recorded by the "Strange Creek Singers," which consisted of Mike Seeger, Tracy Schwarz, Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard and Lamar Grier, on an Arhoolie album (ARH-CD9003), released in 1969. Can't be certain if the tracks on the tape are identical to the tracks of the songs as recorded on the album, but the songs are identical, although the order is somewhat different.) Some brief correspondence, partially dealing with business aspects of Arhoolie recording, from Mike to Moe, was in the tape box; now a copy is in CD case and new tape box.
