- THE ULTIMATE ANALOG RECORD MASTERS
[2CD] DIGITAL ARCHIVES PROMOTION Part number [DAP-B076CD1/2]
1) Limited release in the UK in 1984 Includes super-premium NIMBUS supercut record, which has been attracting attention as the highest peak of the sound quality board.
2) Direct transfer sound source recorded from 1967 British original mono record.
3) Hard-to-find extremely rare high-quality half-speed master record released in Australia in 1983 in a very limited number.
4) Recorded in 1977 on the Apple Electrola record, remastered independently in Germany.
The first half of CD1 contains the NIMBUS supercut record, which was released in the UK in 1984 for a limited time and was noted as the highest peak of high-quality sound records. Speaking of high-quality sound boards, the American Mobil Fidelity MFSL board of the same period is famous, but this UK NIMBUS has fewer numbers and the sound quality itself is highly evaluated, and now it is a super-premium treasure item that is traded at a high price. It is As the definitive version of the British original stereo, the sound quality that cannot be experienced on a remastered CD is digitized and recorded as it is. The second half of CD1 contains the original British mono record released in 1967. Faithfully reproduces the mono sound source that was directly transferred from the record master. The first half of CD2 contains an audio file board by a high-quality half-speed master released in Australia in 1983 in a limited number. Only 497 copies of this record were sold at an audio show in Sydney, not sold at regular record stores, making it a rare item that is now the most difficult item to obtain and is coveted by collectors. This is also recorded with a sound source directly copied from the original master. The second half of CD2 contains the 1977 German Apple Electrola board. The world's first stereo sound source was recorded in the album "Magical Mystery Tour" released in Germany in the 1970s, and original editing and remastering were performed. Sound sources with different sound textures and stereo separation are recorded. Nowadays, these original records are sold at extremely high prices and are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, but this latest collector's edition is highly recommended as an audio reference that allows you to listen and compare the differences in sound together.

Fascinating Insights into the Origins of American Racism
Format: Paperback
This is a fantastic, must read book for anyone interested in the origins of American racism. Morgan recounts the cultural, economic and political evolution of the 17th and early 18th century Virginia, and with it, makes comprehensible the reasons why racial slavery emerged as an integral component to the development of the white community's pre-revolutionary ideals of independence and liberty.
At the founding of the Jamestown colony in 1607, Virginia offered vast tracts of land available to anyone willing to make the trip and who could survive their first season (or two or three) in the New World. Unlike in England where opportunities for land ownership were constrained, the fact that Virginia land was to be had for the taking made the economic equation simple - more labor = more profits. To provide this labor, England's surplus poor (of which there was an overabundance) were sent to Virginia as indentured servants for a period of four to seven years in order to work off the costs of their relocation. Once their indenture period was over, they were free.....and poor. Over time, as established interests grabbed more and more of the land, opportunities for released bondsmen decrease, essentially creating an ever-growing class of destitute (and thoroughly despised) whites who threatened the social and political stability of the colony. Racial slavery was introduced over time to stem this proliferation of poor whites, who, after having served the term of their indenture, were free to be a "blight" on the community.
These planter elites were also constantly at political war with a succession of governors appointed by the crown to manage the affairs of the colony in a manner most beneficial to the king. By enfranchising poor whites and enlisting their support for the colonial assembly, the elites were able to exercise political power over affairs of the colony in a manner most beneficial to the colonists, rich and poor alike. The result of these forces caused a major adjustment in white social strata - the role of detested poor who would only work under the threat of the lash was imposed upon enslaved blacks, and poor whites were elevated to the level of political partners with the elites. This simultaneously endowed all whites with a fierce sense of entitlement over their political rights and the prerogatives of power on the one hand, and contempt for their black slaves on the other. Liberty and equality came to be seen as inalienable birthrights while slavery was the means by which the "shiftless, lazy, indolent" poor could be transformed from burdens on society to positive (albeit brutally coerced) contributors. In other words, Virginia whites came to think of blacks with the same sense of scorn and contempt that English aristocrats held for the poor in England while, at the same time, assuming as a birthright the same sense of political entitlement enjoyed by the elite class in England. It was this, to our modern eyes, bizarre combination of egalitarian and tyrannical ideals that informed and inspired Jefferson, Washington and Madison (among others) as they participated in the formation of what would become the United States.
The implication of this history on modern political discourse is obvious. Those who today passionately cite the liberty-loving ethos of the founding fathers while simultaneously exhibiting contempt for the poor are only looking at one side of the equation. For the Virginians, slavery and liberty went hand in hand; without the one there could not have been the other. A full, rich and nuanced understanding of our heritage compels us to recognize the human inclination to despise and exploit the powerless with the same vigor and passion that we celebrate the ennobling power of freedom.
On a final note of criticism - while the book does a masterful job of making the origins of colonial racism comprehensible, it does so at the expense of "black experience" narratives. The story addresses issues of slavery only to the extent of discussing laws passed throughout the pre-revolutionary period in order to institutionalize it and the effect these laws had on the attitudes of whites towards blacks. I started the book expecting a far deeper dive in this area, and was disappointed by how little was presented concerning the evolution of slavery throughout the 17th century from a black perspective. After having read the book, I concede that this deeper dive was not strictly necessary in order for the author to prove his thesis, yet it would have been a stronger work had greater efforts in this area been made.

Great Historical Reading
Format: Paperback
I found "American Slavery, American Freedom" to be a thought-provoking book that contained a great deal of useful information. I wrote in the margins of the book, took notes, and highlighted entire pages.
"American Slavery, American Freedom" was well-written and enjoyable to read.
I had read countless books on slavery over the years. This book did not focus primarily on slavery. A detailed description of the steps and events that led to the creation of the Commonwealth of Virginia can be found in "American Slavery, American Freedom."
The history of Virginia is characterized by slavery and servitude. Since many of the books I had read on slavery lacked a compelling backstory, I found this book refreshing.
As far as I can tell, the author denied or downplayed the fact that Thomas Jefferson fathered many children with a slave named Sally Hemmings. The author probably worked on this book for years before its publication in 1975. There was a possibility that Edmund Morgan did not want to write about any "touchy" topics.
"American Slavery, American Freedom" was a pleasure to read. I would recommend it to others.

Disturbing Questions
"Racism became an essential, if unacknowledged, ingredient of the republican ideology that enabled Virginians to lead the nation." writes Edmund S. Morgan in 1975, and ends this book with the rhetorical question: "Is America still colonial Virginia writ large?"
These are deeply disturbing questions - questions one is compelled to ponder as one reads this lucid and dispassionate presentation of the how primitive accumulation in Virginia at the beginning of the 17th century was replaced a century later by an orderly and opulent society based on slavery. The answer to such questions is not made easy by the realisation that the only other successful republican experiment - the Athenian democracy - blossomed too on a bed of slavery.
Do these questions matter today? Have we not moved on from racism? I'm afraid not. Again the voice of Morgan: "In the republican way of thinking, zeal for liberty and equality could go hand in hand with contempt for the poor and plans for enslaving them." Sounds eerily familiar? Just as today's language used to describe terrorist threats is redolent of the rhetoric that once surrounded the lynching of black bodies. Racism (albeit globalised) is re-visiting the land today, and so are republican virtues and values.
The book is long, and in some ways, too detailed. Morgan delights in the telling particular, and at times one wishes he would not linger on some specifics. But this has a purpose. He wants to show the imperceptible and surreptitious mechanisms by which a society acquires its ugly and immoral traits until they become so natural as to be invisible. Step by step, event by event, law by law a construction emerges that would have horrified its founders. Yet, at the time, it seamed the logical, and the right thing to do.
A strong point in Morgan's narrative is the links he highlights between the developments in Virginia and the Britain's commercial interests, migration policies, population growth and control, state revenue, and political history or thought. One can better appreciate the import of Virginia for Britain and the mother country's fixation and fascination for the North American colonies.
Brash and brutal, Virginian slavery stood openly as godmother at the foundation of the American Republic. Other aspects of slavery also contributed significantly - but as they were indirect, they remained veiled and are hardly recognised even today. New England benefited greatly from its cod trade to the Caribbean, where the product that was found to be unfit for European markets was fed to the slaves, thus freeing up land that otherwise would have been used to sustain them. When will we get a total picture of slavery's import for America's economic foundations?

Format: Paperback
This book lays out hte paradox, how a country could develop a "national character" founded on the love of liberty while simultaneously importing thousands and thousands of bondsmen to provided the "free people" with the necessities of life: i.e., why slavery was necessary to support the kind of freedom the white folk wanted to become accustomed to.... and implicitly, why the industrial revolution finally changed the hearts and minds of enough Americans to make slavery seem unnecessary and therefore, if was no longer a necessary evil, why it had to be overthrown.
Morgan writes objectively -- but his feelings are always detectable through his writing style, which is perhaps the best academic English to be found anywhere. I found it gripping. The book was published in 1972, and has doubtless been corrected by many subsequent researchers in some of its particulars -- but it was the fountainhead for a new way of understanding American history that young people all have learned about in high school, but which many baby-boomers have never seriously encountered.
Reading it accomplished a MAJOR retrofit in my sense of how the USA got to be the way it is today. Not to put too fine a point on it, the Tea Party and many trump supporters seem to adhere to the values of the original American Republicans [and to think that Black folk should be pushed back to a place where their feelings don't matter], and to long for a return to the status quo ante -- with ante referring to a time long LONG ago
