About Folk & Americana Pressing Identification

Folk and Americana vinyl encompasses some of the most culturally significant recordings in American music. Original Columbia 6-eye and 2-eye pressings of Bob Dylan's early albums, Elektra folk recordings, Folkways documentary and folk classics, and early Vanguard folk are the primary collector targets. The singer-songwriter era of the 1970s on Reprise, Asylum, and Elektra has also developed strong collector interest.

How Identification Works

Upload a photo of the record label. For Dylan and major folk artists, the Columbia label variant (6-eye, 2-eye, or later) is the primary identifier. For smaller folk labels like Folkways, the catalog number and label generation date the pressing.
