I love the Kingston Trio. I'm surprised this didn't show up on the complilation CDs. I had assume all of their songs are rereleased. Thanks for sharing!
@903davesharonpoky It was on "At Large"; back when they were releasing the "twin" disks a while back, it was on the "At Large/Going Places" disk. You can probably still find it on eBay. "At Large" was my favourite of all of their albums... mainly because when I was a kid, it's the only one of their albums that my dad had, and I played it all the time!
@903davesharonpoky Man, sorry about that - "Going Places" was paired with "Make Way"; the one you want is "At Large/Here We Go Again" (although I definitely recommend "Make Way/Going Places" as well!) :)
With the right nose you can still smell the whale oil in Downtown New Bedford. I find it amazing that I drink in New Bedford in the establishments that once house THE roughest and toughest Whalemen the world has ever seen. We're still a salty and hard crowd to this day. Many times I walk down Union St. (New Bedford's main St. downtown) and say to myself, "Call me Ishmael."
@MrMatagouri Whaling not admirable! They were brave hard working men, under paid and over worked in one of the most dangerous trades of the day. If there were a bert available on a wind jammer whaler today I would sign on in a heart beat. Even though it would probably kill me. These chanties are from the days when ships were made of wood and men were made of iron.
Using petroleum for fuel made whale oil obsolete and saved the whales. Today petroleum gets a bad rap. Tomorrw they will find out windmills kill birds.
Fine job on the video, Dave! I added it to the article on the song on CompVid101 - the only other version I had when I wrote it in '09 was a scratchy vinyl version.
I have been trying to find this version (from "At Large") for at least 25 yrs ! couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks for posting it, you just made my day !!! "Bandit"...
"BRILLIANT BOYS, BRILLIANT" MAYBE THE BEST VERSION IVE FOUND SO FAR !

Funny. I had this song in my head and just now looked it up on YouTube. You must have foreseen that I'd be humming it today. :)

@sandinmyears1 We must have that ESP Stuff :) I was looking for it myself just recently, and it wasn't here. So I thought I would give it a try.
