Prestige/Folklore Album Discography

The Prestige Folklore label was established in 1963 as a vehicle for grouping albums in the then-popular "folk" genre. A number of the albums in this series were reissues from Prestige's other labels such as Prestige International and Prestige Bluesville. When folk music died in late 1964 due to the British Invasion, Prestige discontinued the Folklore series and reissued the albums on Prestige proper.

Apparently, Prestige/Folklore used the same catalog numbers for both mono and stereo issues. Some stereo issues (see 14010 below) had "STEREO" printed on the jacket, while others (see 14033 below) just has a sticker with "STEREO."

The Prestige Folklore label was green with black print, with the Folklore "banjo" logo at the top and the label name just beneath. Starting in late 1964, Prestige reissued many of the Prestige Folklore albums on the blue Prestige label with silver print (near left), retaining the Folklore catalog numbers.
