Originally a 12-song LP (but reissued as a ten-song platter in 1980), the content ranges across the group’s history, not in strict chronological order, but encompassing the highlights of both the original trio (Dave Guard\/Nick Reynolds\/Bob Shane) and the second lineup (with John Stewart replacing Guard). Starting with “Tom Dooley,” the material takes us right up to “Where Have All The Flowers Gone” – which was sort of a reestablishing hit for the group early in 1962 – and even finds room for the group original “Take Her Out of Pity.” What’s here may not be as loud as some of the rock \u0026amp; roll that more people remember from the years 1958-1962, but it tells us just as much about what was on the mind of white, middle-class America in that era. And it’s still great listening and a fine introduction to the group, beautifully understated where it needs to be and boisterous and fun at the right moments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40942617067617,"sku":"8436563181313","price":17.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_2266147_jpg.jpg?v=1712713357","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8436563181313-the-best-of-the-kingston-trio","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
