ZFB folk music series (1969-74)
Albums on the ZFB series ran from 1969 to 1974 and were all folk and all in stereo, a fair amount of them re-releases (in red in the list below) from the ZRG and ZDA series.
Other folk albums continued being issued in the ZDA series during the ZFB period, but not many.
Albums with LT in front of the title are field recordings by Deben Bhattacharya, which from 1967 got grouped by Argo under the umbrella sub-series of the Living Tradition.
Thanks to Iain Churches, who did the sound engineering on a lot of them, for help with compilation.
