Customer Reviews

Why this was a special collection.
This collection came out in 1962. I bought it in 1963, and it contained above all else the two incredible songs, "Greenfields" and "Green Leaves of Summer." This is an early album, untampered with, and it had and has a feel of its own. Those who bought it in the early to mid-sixties will still remember this as the definitive Brothers Four album, even if one or two of their own favorites are not on it. It stands alone, and it stands as a whole which exceeds the sum of its parts.

Good stuff! One of the stars is probably for nostalgia
Another customer wrote about confusing B4 with K3. Well, Scotch and Soda was originally recorded by the Kingston Trio with Bob Shane singing the solo. Raspberries, Strawberries (the one about an old man returning to Paris) was also Kingston Trio. The Brothers Four covered many numbers by other artists. They do it very well, but it's hard to beat Bob Shane' Scotch and Soda.
