The Very First Thing On Your Mind
And an aching measure of all we have lost with the recent death of Mary Travers. PP&M not merely in their prime, as astute fans have commented, but at the very peak of their powers.

Others may only talk about the 'virtues of simplicity', or 'less is more'; here the artists bring that to life, on nearly every glorious track. Nothing in popular music is more stirring and deeply felt, than such direct and pure renditions of 'Early Morning Rain', 'The First Time', and 'Rising Of The Moon'. Then, as the very crown of all the trio's musical achievements, we have Travers' work on the album's amazing coda: 'Last Thing On My Mind'.

This deceivingly unadorned performance is so good, that PP&M later must have felt constrained to cover their own cover of the timeless Tom Paxton ballad, with a superb version on their subsequent album 'Flowers & Stones', which added organ and electric guitar, while wisely keeping Mary at the forefront of this heartbreaking song. But ultimately, there's just no comparison - perhaps anywhere, by anyone - to the beauty of Mary's execution and feel for these lyrics here, set solely against a quiet background of bass and acoustic guitar.

On the album's liner notes from 1965, Peter Yarrow commented ruefully on having been eclipsed by the Beatles phenomenon: 'their magic is bigger than our magic', he lamented, surely pointing to PP&M's biggest hit - and to the immortal dragon! But with all deference to the British immortals, no apologies were ever needed. Make it your priority to get this work. It's brimming with priceless treasures!

Pure Nostalgia

Thanks Amazon. We have had this album on vinyl forever but haven't got anything to play them on any more, and are really enjoying listening to it again.


PPM CD is OK
Arrived fairly quickly, too. The CD arrived in good shape and plays beautifully. I was glad to get this one as I was beginning to suspect is was not available due to my inability to find it in local stores.


Over 40 years old and still great.
After 40 years it's still one of my favorites. I've had this album on vinyl since the 60's. Well worth buying again for the convenience and durability of a CD.


Some of their best songs
They were unique in that when they sang about the pain of war they did not actually sing protest against their own country and our military during the time of Vietnam. I purposedly went looking for this recording to verify something that many are not aware of with Peter, Paul and Mary. -- I saw them in concert around the time this album came out and their song "Because all Men are Brothers" just about brought the house down. Anyone who wants their true message and wants to understand the silent majority of the time needs to listen very carefully to the words of this song. .
