Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Peter, Paul and Mary weren't the first folk group to scale the music charts in the early 1960s, but they were the most commercially successful. Carry It On is a four-CD (plus one DVD) box set that gathers all of their hits, along with generous helpings of rarities, B-sides and previously unreleased songs. Although they had a magical vocal sound, a camera-ready image and strong songwriting chops of their own, perhaps the trio's greatest strength was their ability to recognise outstanding songs from then-unknown composers. They were the first major group to cover songs by Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, John Denver and Tom Paxton, which helped introduce the work of these songwriters to a wider audience. Carry It On is a worthy testament to the legendary group that proved you could make a career out of singing songs of social protest, ancient ballads, modern heartbreak and even magic dragons, as long as you did so with sincerity, humour and gorgeous three-part harmonies. --Michael John Simmons, Amazon.com

Description
One of the most beloved and successful folk groups of all time, Peter, Paul & Mary are well represented by this impressive four-CD/one-DVD Rhino box set. Formed in New York City'sGreenwich Village during the early 1960s, the trio--consisting of Peter Yarrow, Noel "Paul" Stookey, and Mary Travers--garnered a huge following with their thoughtful, easy-going performances of socially conscious tunes by lauded songsmiths such as Woody Guthrie ("This Land Is Your Land"), Pete Seeger ("If I Had a Hammer"), and a then relatively unknown troubadour from Minnesota named Bob Dylan ("Blowin' in the Wind"). These songs and many revered PP&M originals (most notably the gentle "Autumn to May" and the whimsical children's classic "Puff the Magic Dragon") are included on this collection, along with lesser-known tunes, rare concert recordings, and solo tracks by Yarrow, Stookey, and Travers. This remarkably comprehensive set is mainly geared towards PP&M's most adoring fans, but listeners seeking a pared-down compilationcan find many of these selections on 2005's THE VERY BEST OF PETER, PAUL & MARY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic PPM, 12 May 2004
By K Richardson (Leeds, Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
From being aware that CARRY IT ON was being released earlier this year,I had waited with great excitement to receive it.It arrived yesterday and I could'nt wait to open it.The first thing that struck me was the beautiful way it was presented.Released in a book format with plenty of photo's and stories it made wonderful reading.The music itself is superb, classic Peter ,Paul& Mary.The contents on the 4 cd's is varied and spans the whole range of their music.The chance to hear a lot of their songs again was like being in paradise.Most of my PPM collection is on vinyl so now I can listen to them in the car.The way PPM sing together in such beautiful clear rich tones,perfectly harmonized is a moving experience.I first heard PPM in the 60's and was hooked on them then, unfortunately I was never able to see them live which is a big regret.The bonus DVD is a real treat for me, to see them perform some of their songs is classic.This DVD is the icing on the cake for me,add this to the cd's and it makes a excellent gift or treat for yourself.In terms of value for money it is a real bargain.Anyone who has not experienced Peter,Paul & Mary before and who like folk music should snap up CARRY IT ON, they won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic PPM, 13 May 2004
By K Richardson (Leeds, Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I eagerly awaited the release of CARRY IT ON and when I arrived home yesterday found it waiting for me. My first surprise was the wonderful presentation box with lots of pictures and stories inside,what a treat.I soon started listening to the cd's and it soon took me back to the 60's when I first heard PPM. What wonderful voices and harmonies,I thought I was in paradise.The cd's comprise of truly wonderful classics and the bonus DVD features them singing songs and 1 delightful version of Leaving On A Jet Plane accomplanied by the late John Denver.This DVD is fantastic for me as I never saw them live and have very little footage of them singing.All in all a really great value for money product.All you PPM fans who like me have the songs mainly on vinyl enjoy them now anywhere on cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 22 Feb 2008
By Jonny Cruiser (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a fabulous, affectionate collection, beautifully presented and sounding wonderful. I had the good fortune to see PP&M in concert twice. They were in their element on stage. The audience participation in Oh Rock My Soul is a terrific example of how Peter was able to galvanise the crowd and make it seem so effortless - and such fun. Other live performances such as The Other Side of This Life and Sometime Lovin' are beautifully confident. There's a fine selction of in-concert recordings in here. There are so many highlights, the voices, the harmonies, always so perfect: Blowin' In The Wind and The Times They Are A-Changin' still make my hairs stand on end; Early Mornin' Rain, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine, Paul's majesterial The House Song, Leavin' On A Jet Plane...... And then there's the DVD. Just look at Jane, Jane to see how thrillingly they interacted live. One small complaint - why was Tell It on the Mountain [a number 33 hit in 1964] not included? The liner notes are comprehensive but tend to gush a bit... but then, that's what I'm doing. No one who fell under the spell of these great artists should be without this.
