Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed.......2007-03-08

The music and songs are great except on every song, the recording stops before the song (and/or music is finished) and after paying almost $19.00, I am not very satisfied with the recording.

4 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars--Their Debut LP.......2006-07-19

This is when Peter, Paul, and Mary first hit the scene in 1962. They blended folk guitars with relaxing vocals, mixing their versions of standards with Peter, Paul, and Mary originals. Every track is sentimental, folky, and just plain worthwhile.

This CD has always been important to me because it was the first CD I ever owned. In fourth grade I would often listen to "Autumn to May" every day. I found it so imaginative and relaxing, and I felt as if it was speaking directly to me, a lonely elementary school boy. It's still one of my favorite tunes.

Besides "Autumn to May," other highlights include the Woody Guthrie cover "This Train," the melancholy protest "Cruel War," and the fast-paced "If I had my way." However, a couple of songs don't work for me every time, and are sometimes skip-overs, like the dull "It's Raining," and "Bamboo." Nevertheless, the songs are good, this is pure folk, and I completely recommend it. It will always be special to me.

1 out of 5 stars Totally Awesome.......2006-01-29

This album is as awesome today as it was 40 years ago. Although Peter, Paul and Mary have matured, they still sing what they believe and support wonderful causes like Operation Respect. Wish there were more groups like this today.

5 out of 5 stars The debut of a popular folk trio.......2004-09-08

This trio consisting of Peter Yarrow,Noel Paul Stookey and Mary Travers are not just folk musicians and singers. They are folk rockers. All three sing and Yarrow and Stookey play guitars. Blonde beauty Travers holds a bouquet of flowers in her hands in the cover photo and Yarrow and Stookey hold their guitars. Hits from this album include 500 MILES,where Louisville,Kentucky born Travers takes the lead. Other hits include LEMON TREE,IF I HAD A HAMMER and IT'S RAINING.

5 out of 5 stars Fell in Love With PP&M All over again.......2004-08-30

I have had this cd for several years as well as the albums "In the Wind" "Peter Paul & Mommy" and "The Best of PP&M (Ten Years Together)". About three weeks ago (as this is being written) they were part of a PBS fundraiser, and I got intererested in playing the dedut album again. There are so few artists making vital music now that I have been craving to listen to music with meaning, power and passion. When I replayed this album, its majesty and beauty really hit me. I can understand and appreciate how popular the album was. I read the reviews here and noted that one mentioned that the "Peter, Paul & Mary" album was not the biggest of 1962. Of course not-it was released mid-way through the chart year. What he failed to state was that it was the #2 selling album of 1963. It was also one of the Top 10 selling albums of 1964. It charted into 1965, spending over 180 weeks on Billboard's album chart. It was a powerhouse seller because its music mattered. This album is essential listening. Where Have All the Flowers Gone; their Grammy winning performance of If I Has A Hammer; their original Cruel War; Bamboo; Autumn to May; 500 Miles...music from heaven. Vocally, the trio are inspirational, and Peter and Paul's guitar playing is magnificent. This is what music is all about.
