One of the most enduring acts in American music, Peter Paul And Mary both defined and transcended the 1960s folk revival. The trio's passionate commitment to peace and social justice made them the conscience of an era as they soulfully communicated political concerns through music in an unprecedented way. At the same time that they reached millions with their social message, they acheived phenomenal mass popularity.

The one to have Aug 22, 2010
I'll have to agree with all the other 100 reviewers here. This is the best compilation of PP&M material available... best selection, and best mastering to CD. For not much money you get 25 tracks. about the first 16 consisting of their best-known releases from the 1960s, and the final 9 bringing their careers up to the present day. Although, cynically speaking, PP&M were a group formed and packaged by Bob Dylan's manager partially in order to bring Dylan's songs to a wider audience, their immense musical talent quickly overshadowed any initial artificiality. Not being a fan of popular music at any time during my 70-odd years on this sad planet, I had never heard at least half of the songs collected here.All are worth hearing, except one. Particularly moving are "The Great Mandala" (concerning a pacifist's hunger strike) and "El Salvador" (concerning one of the USA's very many military misadventures). One track, "I Dig Rock and Roll Music," even celebrates (with tongue in cheek) a trend that ultimately led to the death of all legitimate genres of popular music... so that today we are left only with Country/Western crap and Ghetto Rap.

I have lived to see the healthy activism of the 1960s dwindle away into the crazy constrictions of the era of Political Correctness, and this is even represented on the collection by its last and worst song, "Don't Laugh at Me." This isn't a song at all, but just a chanted listing of all the categories of people we shouldn't laugh at. I am happy to report that Bozo the Clown is not listed, but alas we are told we shouldn't otherwise laugh at anything or anybody.

Highly recommended. Indeed, the incredibly powerful voice of Mary Travers brought tears to these old eyes time after time as I played this CD on my car player, whilst running errands.

Best folk group of the 60's Aug 11, 2010
Saw them in concert in 1964 and this CD really brings back memories of that concert and most of their best songs... If it included "There is a Ship" it would really be complete. Where else can you get a CD that contains 15-16 really big hitters out of a total of 25 songs. The other 10 or so aren't too shabby either...If you're only going to buy one P,P & M CD, I'd recommend this one..

I'm an oldy always looking for a goody and this is it. It is really the best of Peter Paul & Mary

The very best of Peter, Paul and Mary Jul 06, 2010
Absolutely brilliant; in my old age I had forgotten how really good these three were. The haunting voice of Mary and superb back up of Peter and Paul helps me relive my past.
Many thanks to P,P & M

Great tunes, you don't have to be an aging hippie to appreciate this wonderful CD. Also thumbs up for Amazon, my origional order apparently was lost in the mail, they replaced the order through Fed Ex in good time.
