Their records were manufactured in very low quantities (sometimes as low as 20 or 30 copies) with hand-printed covers. By the mid-1960s Johnny and his wife Evelyn were undertaking a field trip to make recordings of Austrian folk music. On completion, the music was released in the US on Chris Strachwitz's legendary Arhoolie Records and on the 500 series of the newly formed Roots Records. Strachwitz suggested to the Parths that they should use the Roots label to re-issue limited edition vintage country blues recordings. With finance provided by Evelyn, they went ahead and produced the first country blues album, by Blind Lemon Jefferson. Johnny's ever-growing network of collectors provided the Austrian couple with a flow of rare, sometimes staggeringly rare, 78s which were lovingly transferred to ensure a flow of albums. Over the next few years, 41 albums appeared on the Roots 300 series of vinyl albums. As the 1960s blues boom took hold in the UK, many UK record shops supplied Roots LPs at premium import prices. In 1968, by agreement with Roots, Saydisc began to press and distribute Roots LPs in the UK, thus bringing the price down in comparison with Austrian imports. In 1970 the Roots label came to an end when Johnny and Evelyn divorced. In 1982 Parth began to reassemble his huge collection of 78s into chronological order and these recordings would later be the foundations for the new Document label.

The Bible, that is, the Holy Scriptures conteined in the Olde and Newe Testament, Translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the best Translations in divers Languages..., Imprinted at London [i.e. Amsterdam]: by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1599 [i.e. circa 1599-1640], letterpress general title with woodcut illustration and upper outer corner torn away & repaired (without initial general title with woodcut border), New Testament title within decorative woodcut border, few woodcut illustrations and decorative initials, double-column roman type, colophon at end of Tables dated 1599, bound without Apocrypha, early manuscript genealogical entries to letterpress general title, final leaf of Profits and verso of New Testament title relating to the Widonson family (also to upper pastedown), few closed tears and fraying to margins, D1 torn to inner upper margin, burn hole to R2 with text loss & burn mark to facing leaf R1, X1 torn to fore-edge margin with loss to marginal note, 3I4 torn to lower blank margin with slight loss to notes & catchword etc., 3P3 torn to lower outer corner with slight loss, without blank leaf 3Q8, small hole to final leaf 3R4, some soiling, occasional dampstains and marks (including few ink marks), without free endpapers, 19th century ownership label of John Wycliffe Wilson of Sheffield to upper pastedown, hinges repaired, contemporary blind panelled calf, rebacked and corners repaired (spine concave), 4to, contained in modern slipcase (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: From the Library of David Wilson (1926-2020). Herbert 248; Darlow & Moule 188; STC 2174. Geneva version; with Thomson's NT, but with Junius' Revelation. These Bibles with imprint dated 1599 were probably printed in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker, for the use of English Puritans in the Low Countries. There are many editions bearing this date, which while agreeing closely are yet distinct. No doubt a certain number of copies were originally issued in a mixed state. The nominal date, 1599, is probably untrue in almost every case. However, this version (Herbert 248) is probably the earliest of these editions, as it abounds more than any others in gross errors, and was perhaps printed in Amsterdam in about 1599. Typographical variations and errors in this volume include Esther i:1 '... seuen and twen - \ ty prouinces '; Song of Solomon v:3, defile for put; Isaiah xxx:32, beards for harps , Isaiah xxxvi:12, thing for dung ; Matt. xxiv:50, line repeated. This example also omitting line in Eccles. iv:9, Two are better [than one: for they have better] wages for their labour .
