  Broadside's best   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
The recordings are drawn largely, though not exclusively, from the dozen Broadside Ballads albums released by Folkways during the magazine's existence, as well as from the unreleased tapes editors Gordon Friesen and Sis Cunningham used to transcribe new compositions.
The performers Broadside championed wrote and sang freshly minted material (often drawing from traditional melodies) that was driven by contemporary concerns: in the early days, civil rights, nuclear disarmament, and the labor movement; later on, Vietnam and women's rights.
Broadside published many of his early, politically specific songs ("With God on Our Side") in the days when he was better known as a young Greenwich Villager with a serious Woody Guthrie obsession than as a performer of his own material.

 Broadside Ballads - Finding Aid (New York State Library)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
The "broadside ballad," which Shepard notes is one of the most widespread and enduring forms of street literature, is defined as a narrative song or poem printed on one side of a single sheet of paper.
Moreover, in common with the modern "tabloid" press, broadside ballads tended to dwell on the more sensational news of the day: crimes, executions, natural disasters, scandals, battles, etc. And, as with newspapers, the market for broadside ballads was stimulated by the urgency of the events they covered.
Some broadside ballads, especially in the nineteenth century, were simply re-printings of current popular hits, often published in connection with theatrical, minstrel-show or music-hall performances.

Broadside was founded in 1962 by Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friessen in the wake of McCarthyism.

Printed broadsides may have first been decrees intended for public posting, so they were necessarily printed on one side of large sheets of paper.
Soon even matters printed on one side of smallish sheets were called broadsides — advertisements, for example, or the so-called "broadside ballads," popular ditties that people stuck on the wall to sing from.
The broadside is closely related to the handbill, the brochure, and the pamphlet.

 Black Issues Book Review: Wrestling with the Muse: Dudley Randall and the Broadside Press
From 1966 to 1975, Broadside Press published 81 books and was the most widely known independent, African American publisher in the U.S. Many poets of the Black Arts Movement published their first volumes with Broadside, including Nikki Giovanni and Haki R. Madhubuti (Don L. Lee).
Broadside's founder, Dudley Randall, was a quiet man with a humble vision of himself.
She documents how Randall wrote continuously through Broadside's emergence, but ironically, as Broadside gained worldwide recognition, Randall's poetry was often dismissed as being out of step with the times by younger writers who were gaining prominence, in part, as a result of his work as a publisher.
