The Original 100 LPs
Anthology of Recorded Music, Inc., which records under the label New World Records, was founded in 1975 with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation with a mandate to produce a 100-disc anthology of American music encompassing the broadest possible spectrum of musical genres. In 1978 the Anthology was completed and distributed free of charge to almost 7,000 educational and cultural institutions throughout the world.
Over time, the licenses on some titles expired. The audio for these releases is no longer available, but, as with all our titles, their liner notes are available for download, free of charge.
