Thanks so much for this beautiful, crisp, clean, original recording-Years ago, I bought the 4 disc "The Capitol Years" set ($40) and the song ATWM (one of my all time faves) is a poor, live version- you can see hear someone coughing in the background. Why Capitol opted to use this one instead of the original is left for guessing, I guess.

- This is from the digital re-master of the original tapes put out by the now-out-of-business Collector's Choice. I never actually got either the Capitol or Bear Family boxed sets, though I know that there are a bunch of cuts on both unavailable elsewhere. For me, the KT is the 25 major-label releases from 1958-66 - all I need, and one of the great collections in all American pop music. And you are right - this cut shows why.

I have always loved the Kingston Trio. My Mom, now deceased, told me they were second or third cousins. I wish I'd ever had a chance to meet them. What a great group!

Thank you so much for posting this! I was upset to find that Itunes did not have a good version of this song.... So beautiful, they just don't make music like this anymore. What's with the 1 dislike? This person obviously does not know good music....
