"Three Score & Ten - A Voice To The People" is a fitting eulogy to Topic Records - Britain's premier folk music label and the oldest truly independent record label in the world.
Seven CDs, 144 tracks, in a ten by ten inch hardback book, with dust jacket containing 108 profusely illustrated, full color pages with a narrative portrait of Topic from 1939 to the present day. Also included separately is a complete discography of every Topic release from 1939 to the newest releases in 2009. The 144 tracks cover all aspects of Topic's recording history in 7 themed CDs with many rare tracks never before on CD. The extensive text gives a detailed recording and social history with profiles of the essential recordings, principle artists and key personages. The many illustrations are a revelation in themselves, anchoring the whole project with photos of the artists, album sleeves, advertising leaflets, snapshots and memorabilia.
