4.0 out of 5 stars Collector's Choice makes a hit., December 4, 2002

By	R. Ayers "ancient F&SF fan" (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The combination of one great and one good album by the Trio is well worth the money and more. "At Large" is a great combination of authentic folk and new material. M.T.A. is one of the Trio's few original "protest" songs; "The Seine" if not authentic should be, with its haunting sound. And they do "Scarlet Ribbons" as well as Belafonte (and before he did it). "Here We Go Again" is not as good overall, but still good. Their version of "Shenandoah" ("Across The Wide Missouri") is far better than average. The authentic "San Miguel" is superb. Add to the two albums the added track of "Tiajuana Jail" and the combo is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kingston Trio Collection...EVER!, August 24, 2004

By	B. Newman "bpnewmannj" (Phila, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I grew up listening to these two albums (thanks to my parents) and probably memorized every song on both. With all due respect to the rotating members of the Trio, over the years, I don't think anything can compare to the original Shane/Guard/Reynolds group. If your going to buy any Trio disks...get these. Period.

KT Fans: I've been in contact recently with Bob Shane who feels that the current members of the Trio come closest to the sound of the original Shane/Guard/Reynolds lineup. May be worth catching them live. Drop Bob a line...he's super nice!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of Kingston Trio songs, December 5, 2002

By	Ellen In Cali "ellenbos" (Encino, CA United States) - See all my reviews

My dad always used to sing these songs to me, and I thought he made them up, but I found this album, and was amazed that all the songs I knew from my childhood were on this disk. It's heavy on sea shanties like Blow Ye Winds and Haul Away. They're very catchy tunes, and more refined than some of the more folksy ones like 'Round About the Mountain and Goober Peas (which I think is the song Michelle Pheiffer sings in the movie with the Bridges brothers). If you like harmonized, vocal songs with really memorable tunes and good lyrics, you'll like them. Some of the songs are covers, but they have a nice way of arranging them.
