Volkstumliche Schlager Appraisal

40 Volkstümliche Schlager - Die Super Volksmusik Parade Vinyl LP Set

This is a 12-inch double vinyl LP (2-LP set) titled '40 Volkstümliche Schlager: Die Super Volksmusik Parade mit vielen lustigen Musikanten.' The album cover features a vibrant green front with a large orange '40' and yellow gradient text. Below the title, there are five smaller photographic panels showing various folk music performers, including Maria Hellwig, Pat & Paul, and Hanst Kollmannsberger. The back of the sleeve lists 40 tracks including popular German folk hits like 'Treue Bergvagabunden' and 'Kufsteiner Lied.' The LP is housed in its original gatefold or single pocket sleeve (contained within a protector) and appears to be a release from the late 1970s or early 1980s, common for this genre of compilation. The sleeve shows minor corner wear and slight creasing along the edges but retains good color saturation. The catalog number 6.28309 DS is visible on the upper right side. The item is currently stored in a cardboard box with other records, suggesting it is part of a larger collection. This record represents a classic era of German Schlager and Volksmusik, aimed at a mass-market audience with quality production standards for a variety-style compilation.
