Even though all of the songs in this collection have now been released on other CDs, it does not lessen the importance of this collection. Here, on one CD, we are offered songs that might be unfamiliar to all but hardcore fans but which so well define the three individuals themselves and their determination to bring the important matters of social consciousness out into the bright light of day. Their magical and beautiful harmonies open our hearts and minds to what "should or shouldn't be" and enable us to glimpse the possibilities of those solutions. There are many "causes" in the world. There are far too few people willing to gamble or even get involved in so many of them. But Peter, Paul and Mary have always done just that! They always gave a voice to those who were not heard and always extended a hand to promote equality of all kinds. This DVD offers a walk back in time with the beautiful and gifted Joan Baez, the brilliant supernova called Bob Dylan, Theo Bikel, the Freedom Singers, and many more. It is truly a musical buffet for those hungering for the music of that magical time. In this "me" world of today, just take a moment (or better yet, an afternoon) to listen to these songs. I believe there's a really good chance that your entire world will get a lot bigger. (RIP Mary. Your voice will never be stilled.)Read full review
Peter, Paul and Mary played a positive role in my late adolescence into early adulthood and I am still learning some of their songs on my guitar. This particular album was put together in the 1990's and contains many songs which I had never heard them sing before. That is why I pursued it in the bidding. When I played the CD, I was not disappointed and the CD itself was in perfect shape. There is nothing I disliked about the purchase.
The songs on this CD are their earlier ones and I'd forgotten how wonderful they were. Brings me right back to the 60's. The songs speak of current events and social turmoil. Sure could use more PP&M songs these days.

Average review is not for the songs. If you like PP&M and don't want to pull out songs by album, this and one or two other collections will do pretty well. Problem is that the disk is copy protected, so you can't mount it on your iPod, phone or iPad. Maybe you can but I don't have the time or inclination to explore potentially malware-infected rippers. The same problem affects PP&M's "Collection," originally put out by the now-defunct Readers Digest Music.
these songs musically, lacked quality.
