The Story of Vanguard Logo
Learn about the label that helped make folk music a movement.
In those days, even if you didn’t know the singer or heard any of their songs, if it was on Vanguard, you knew it was something worthwhile, it’d be interesting. That’s been lost. A label doesn’t really stand for as much anymore. But in those days it did; there was an intellectual rigor about what they did and who they signed that made them a special company.
