@johnmoser01 I have it on Cd I ordered it like 20 years ago from my local record shop. It was recorded by Fantasy Records mine is dated 1989,but it said that the songs were from 1962(prestige/folklore14025) some of the other cds I have were remastered and sold by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings from the Folkways Years 1959-61.Hope this helps! I love his music!

Thanks for posting this. I bought the LP when it came out, all those decades ago. Van Ronk was incredibly underappreciated. I also put Eric Bogle and Townes Van Zandt in that category.
The best! At least I met his babysitter in NYC so I feel good about that ya know? He had a big glass jar of pot w/ a chunk of hashish next to his bed she said!

@johnmoser01 Inside Dave Van Ronk is the album. I put the cover of the album as the visual for this video. It should be available for purchase on iTunes or Amazon.
