Limited edition green opaque vinyl re-pressing of widely-acclaimed 2022 Topic Records debut, produced by Eliza Carthy.

‘The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience,’ released on Topic Records in October 2022, lifted Cornwall-based folk singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Angeline Morrison, out of relative obscurity and into the limelight. Immediately recognised as an important work in the British folk canon, Morrison’s courageous album rightfully enjoyed unanimous acclaim.

‘The Sorrows Songs’ shines a light into a previously, virtually neglected corner of Black British History. Whereas, the USA has long since documented its Black history in song, until now, the UK had no real equivalent. ‘The Sorrow Songs’ begins to address this. Angeline refers to the album as “re-storying” and as a gift not only to the forgotten Black ancestors of these islands but to the folk community here today.

Produced by Eliza Carthy and featuring some of her beautiful, soaring string arrangements, The Sorrow Songs also features a guest appearance by her father and bona fide folk legend, Martin Carthy on ‘Slave No More.’

The original black vinyl pressing of this album quickly sold out in 2022. This green opaque re-pressing, a limited edition of 500 copies, makes it available once again for those who missed out.

Limited edition opaque green vinyl re-issue of Angeline Morrison’s highly-acclaimed Topic Records’ debut, ‘The Sorrow Songs’ Includes hype sticker of press review quotes – The Guardian, Uncut, Mojo, Folkradio, etc, etc.
