Customer Reviews

Wow

As a Kingston Trio fanatic (I'm partial to the Guard years), I return to this book over and over. Photographs, interviews, history, discography--it's all here. I really miss Dave Guard.

Indispensable!

If you are a Kingston Trio fan/appreciator like myself, words are hard to find to describe how wonderful this book is. It is put together by a company called Folk Era which is almost a "Kingston Trio Fan Club" in itself. Whatever price they put on this book, it would be a bargain. If you like the Trio and don't have this, GET IT!

THE BIBLE OF THE KINGSTON TRIO

Superb, fun, and, most important, thorough history and discography of the great Trio. Lots of pictures and fascinating interviews (with the late Dave Guard, and Nick Reynolds, among others). Every song the Trio ever recorded is annotated, every release date of every single, album, and other material, including 7 Up commercials, is provided. Those of us still around who grew up with them and appreciated them know how great they were, and this book is a delightful revisiting of these extremely talented, and witty young men and their unique time - that tranquil window between the Eisenhower 50's and the Beatle-ized 60's. This book answers a lot of lingering questions. Happily, the guys who put together this book are also responsible for making available, thru their mail order outfit, every Kingston Trio recording that has been re-released on CD.

The single greatest tribute to THE TRIO(s)ever assembled

Having fallen in love with them when I was 7, and still considering them the greatest pop group of all time (sorry Beatles fans), this book is a must for anyone who wants to get to know them. Congrats to all concerned. There will never be anything like them ever again, and this book captures our little moment together better than anything except, of course, listening to the records. Thanks for the memories!!!

OH THE MEMORIES

I'M PROUD TO COUNT MYSELF AS A BIG BIG FAN OF NICK,BOB,DAVE AND later JOHN. I STILL PLAY THE 33RPM OF THEIR CONCERT AT UCLA and thrill to KEN Kangara,with Nick on the congo drum and Roddy McCorley,they bring back memories of a time of infinite promise known to us insiders as the 60's Ya hadda be there
