Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
Warner Bros. did with the CD release of the 1970 vinyl LP 10 Years Together: Best of Peter, Paul & Mary what every label should do with CD reissues of vinyl compilations. They took into account the longer length of CDs and added tracks. The original release of 10 smash hits has been fleshed out here with three additional tracks, including a melodic take on Dylan's Basement Tapes rarity "Too Much of Nothing." Otherwise, it's hits and nothing but hits, ranging from definitive folk interpretations ("If I Had a Hammer") to pop ("I Dig Rock 'n' Roll Music") to Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot covers that compete with the originals and first brought such material to the mainstream. Only "Cruel War" is missing. --Bill Holdship
Album Description
One of American musics most legendary acts. 13 song compilation, originally released in 1970 and now double-platinum, is a definitive introduction to the group's seminal songs.

Peter, Paul and Mary have been a great gift to us all!,
By Matthew G. Sherwin (last seen screaming at Amazon customer service) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter, Paul & Mary: Ten Years Together (Audio CD)
This CD is one of those rare times a single CD can demonstrate all the incredible beauty of a powerful group like Peter, Paul and Mary! The CD offers very thoughtful and beautiful classic ballads such as "Blowin' In The Wind," "Stewball," and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." "Blowin' In The Wind" is also an example of the group's being willing to take a stand on social and moral issues facing our society. The group's versatility is demonstrated with the song about "Puff (The Magic Dragon," which, although it's a children's song, can easily be enjoyed by adults as well. Although they are mainly folk singers they also celebrate rock and roll music with the song "I Dig Rock and Roll Music;" many thought Peter, Paul and Mary were making fun of rock and roll with this song but they insist they are paying tribute to it-and I think that they are. The CD ends with the song "Day Is Done" which is defiant of the evil in this world. This song includes a good sized chorus and adds a triumphant flair to the end of the song set. The artwork on the CD is very good; but unfortunately the only photo we get of the group is very tiny on the front cover. The sound quality is excellent. There is a brief history of the group although it about them in the 1960s when these songs were originally recorded. I only wish that lyrics had been included! I recommend this CD for Peter, Paul and Mary fans as well as fans of folk music. This is also an excellent choice for music lovers who want a superlative introduction to the group if they are as yet unfamiliar with their work. We are better off for having their music and Peter, Paul and Mary should be congratulated as well for not being afraid to deal with social and moral issues throughout their long history!

It's Mono!,
By File (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter, Paul & Mary: Ten Years Together (Audio CD)
Peter, Paul & Mary get 5 stars, the selection of this album is wonderful but, hang down your head, the sound engineer gets an F-for mastering it in mono instead of stereo. He must have been puffin' the magic dragon and ought to be hanged along with Tom Dooly for that. Leave the CD on a jet plane, and download all these songs in stereo from Kaza.

Nostalgic, but disappointing,
By Joe Terry Gilliland (Asheville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peter, Paul & Mary: Ten Years Together (Audio CD)
"Best of Peter, Paul and Mary" brought back some of the songs my wife and I remembered from this group, but the CD altogether was disappointing. Inexplicably, the worst selection is the well known "Puff the Magic Dragon," which evidently was recorded at a live concert. All you can really hear is the chorus; the verses apparently were sung away from the microphone. Since that is such a trademark song for this group, this spoiled the rest of it. It really isn't worth the asking price.
