By C. FULLER TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This 3 CD release from Not Now Music brings this historic event into the market place for a very fair price and to possibly a fresh audience. All of the names are here Pete Seeger; Joan Baez; Sonny Terry; Brownie McGhee; Earl Scruggs and Odetta plus may more. The sound quality for a live recording is very good indeed and the liner notes by Michael Heatley tell the story of the festival and performers. The packaging is slim line and contains some vintage photographs. This is aimed at the collectors and those who wish to hear that first festival year. This is a welcome addition to the folk festival arena.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many happy returns 4 Jun 2011
Format:Audio CD
This is something of a holy grail for folk devotees such as me.It was issued on Vanguard originally, but that recording company never deemed it worthy of reissue on CD, apparently.Even when at compiled "At Newport" discs by the likes of Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, tracks from 1959 were conspicuous by their absence.I never understood that choice - and a query to Vanguard went unanswered. The three LPs have evidently fallen out of copyright now, thankfully (at least in Europe), and it's wonderful to have them available again. The reissue could have done with more copious liner notes. And the tracks could easily have been accommodated on two CDs rather than three. But these are relatively minor quibbles - it's simply great that these recordings are out there once more.
