Here are some true gems for all you bluegrass lovers. I was lucky enough to come across a complete set of the second weekend of the June Bean Blossom Festival from 1972... The quality is excellent, and the performances are spectacular, with all the greats of the era. Thanks to BigD for the sets and to Jeff for tracking. I spent a good long time identifying orders of sets, completing setlists (whenever possible), identifying personnel, and organizing into volumes and discs.

This volume 1 of 8. Each volume contains either 2 or 3 discs. Total number of discs is 16.

Brought to you by your good friends at the Bluegrasshub! Enjoy everybody.
