Requia & Other Compositions for Guitar Solo
Released: 1967
Label: N\A

Vol. 3: Dance of Death & Other Plantation Favorites - LP
Released: 1965

Released: 1973
Label: N\A

The Best of John Fahey 1959-1977
Released: 1977
Label: N\A
The title of this compilation is a little misleading. Although it is indeed an anthology, and the most recent two tracks were recorded in 1977, nothing was recorded as early as 1959. In fact,... Continue[+]
