Langston Hughes vinyl starter kit
Regular price
$375.00
A selection of vinyl records by Langston Hughes, forming a representative sample and including the earliest issues on vinyl [a few 78rpm shellac records precede these and are not included]. The novelty of the vinyl medium at the time Langston Hughes was working allowed him to reach a different audience and gives us a chance to hear his own reading of his poems which are highly regarded. Any study involving the nexus between jazz music and the literary Harlem renaissance that is more widely known cannot leave out his contributions in this medium. A thorough list, or audio files, or more pictures are available on request.
