its incorrectly edited on the rhino with the second chorus of Shenandoah missing and the chorus frequently out of sync with the orchestra -- a mess.
There was a second chorus of Shenandoah in the Overture? Fascinating.
Where exactly is the chorus out of sync?

Thank you, Joe.
Where did you hear the extended Shenandoah? At a film preview or premiere?

If you're interested, Collectors Choice offers the one album (other than their work on WEST)recorded by Dave Guard and the Whiskey Hill Singers.

You're most welcome, Zelig. I was delighted when I made the discovery, as it meant I could have a companion volume of sorts to my beloved HTWWW. I've always loved all the Whiskey Hill contributions to that score.

Thanks to Preston and Zelig, can't help joining in. All this talk of the Kingston Trio is wonderful, I've always loved The Reverend Mr. Black, Greenback Dollar and probably my favourite, Charley on the MTA, what glorious memories they evoke, thanks guys.
Niall.

Collectors Choice, which I mentioned in the message the other day, is a web site that deals in CD's and cassettes. Google away. (You'll even find FSM titles there!)

Niall, since you like the John Stewart edition of the trio, you should pick up The Trio's "Capitol Years" boxed set. It has many goodies, like the orchestra-free renditions of the songs they did on the "Something Else" sessions. The songs were perfect before all the goopy arrangements were added on, though I do like those, too.
Many people dislike the "cowboy" songs from HTWWW but I think they're wonderful.

Count me among those who loved the addition of the cowboy/pioneer/folk songs to the score of HTWWW. They did much to evoke the era of the extended family saga of the film.
For accuracy's sake the John Stewart/Kingston Trio album with the orchestral overlay was "Something Special" from Capitol in 1962. "Something Else" was the Trio's third album from Decca in 1965 and an attempt to move into the then quite radical, electric guitar world of Folk Rock just decreed that year by Bob Dylan. It is considered by many fans to be unlistenable and was the first Trio album ever not to chart.
The definitive collections of Kingston Trio music are the two boxed sets from Bear Family in Germany. Each contains 10 CDs and a coffee table book. They include almost every track ever recorded by the Dave Guard and the John Stewart configurations of the Trio. There's even a CD of, I'm not kidding, 7-Up commercials from ca. 1958. The boxes are pricey, but for a fan well worth the cost.

As for the album, I actually like the songs, especially "One More Town" and "Away, Rio." But the lyrics of "Little Boy" are hilarious! With lyrics like "is it my dear mother who showers me with love." I don't even have their Decca recordings. I am familiar with the Bear Family boxes. The four-disc Capitol Years has a couple 7-Up commercials on it and they are pretty amusing.
