Southwestern Native American Record Collection (35 LPs): 1960s and 70s Apache, Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, and other Indigenous American Musical Productions.
(LP Records. 12" Vinyl. 33 1/3 RPM. Mono and Stereo). This collection of thirty-five 12-inch vinyl LP records comprises mainly 1960s and 1970s southwestern Native American recordings from Apache, Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni and other Indigenous American artists, bands, singer-songwriters, vocalists, and musicians in and around modern day New Mexico and Arizona.
Of particular interest are several rare self-released records (or independently released via small record labels such as the Indian Arts of America (circa 1960s Albuquerque), from the bands The Zuni Midnighters, Apache Spirit, The Fenders, and The Wingate Valley Boys. Many interesting uncommon albums and compilations from the Canyon Records (Phoenix, AZ) and Ethnic Folkways (Smithsonian/D.C.) labels are present here as well.
Most of the records are first pressings, and many are the only vinyl pressings that have been released of each album. A few of them are promotional copies. Condition is predominantly Very Good records in Very Good sleeves and covers; some better reaching Near Mint, and a few are in markedly worse condition but are still considered rare, of significant interest, and/or notable and integral to the collection. The short list below provides a quick overview of the titles in the collection. A complete list containing full catalog descriptions, with annotations and condition information for each individual item, is available upon request. Priced for the lot. Item #64589
