Vinyl LP album 'The Brothers Four' by The Brothers Four on Columbia Records
History
The Brothers Four were an American folk singing group formed in 1957 at the University of Washington in Seattle. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1960 on Columbia Records, captured the folk music revival movement that swept America in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The album featured popular tracks like 'Greenfields' and helped establish the group as one of the leading folk acts of the era. This Columbia 'Six Eye' label pressing represents the original mono release format that was standard for the period. This album appeals to collectors of vintage folk music, vinyl enthusiasts, and fans of early 1960s Americana. The Brothers Four's clean harmonies and acoustic instrumentation represent a pivotal moment in American popular music when folk traditions merged with mainstream appeal. Columbia Records' 'Six Eye' label pressings from this era are particularly sought after by serious vinyl collectors for their superior sound quality and historical significance in the folk revival movement.
