Judy Collins - Bread & Roses - 1976 - Elektra Records - Folk - Vinyl LP - Used

Released in August 1976 by Elektra Records, this eleventh studio album from Judy Collins is a masterful blend of folk sensibilities and political conviction that reached number twenty-five on the Billboard charts. The record features the powerful title track based on James Oppenheim's 1912 labor poem, which has since become an anthem for dignity and workers' rights, alongside beautifully curated covers of Elton John’s Come Down in Time and Victor Jara’s Plegaria a un Labrador. Produced by the legendary Arif Mardin with recording supervision by Phil Ramone, the album showcases a sophisticated sound with a diverse range of session musicians including a young Luther Vandross on background vocals. This pressing is an essential piece for collectors of 1970s folk-rock, capturing Collins at a creative peak where her angelic vocals bridge the gap between traditional folk roots and contemporary pop arrangements.
