Grew up on this and know every word, every nuance. Spent countless hours laying in front of my parents stereo (or was it mono?) singing along with Harry. My favorites were always Darlin Cora, Sylvie and Shanandoah.

@wmbrown6 Unlike RCA U. S. pressings, RCA 60's Canadian pressings were issued with "large Nipper" (shaded dog) with silver lettering until early 1969. Greetings

@VinylToVideo i used to have this album from my parents, i'm 45 years old, i grew up on this,, my record however, is lost,, it was very scratched, but you could listen to it. i would sing to it even at the age of 3 or 4. my dad had the 8 track player in his car we would listen to canegiee hall evrywhere, that was in the early early 70's i must say, life was so magical at that time, was a very exciting time to be a kid. i miss it allot. not that these days are much diferent, it's just colder

@wmbrown6 Canadian pressings of both classical (LM/LSC) and Original Cast (LOC/LSO) series were issued with the famous Red Seal label. Moreover, not all RCA Original cast series U. S. Pressings used the black label, since the first pressings' label (1950 to 1954) was green.

Ah...the first album I ever memorized, or tried to. I was two. 1959. They'd put this record on and my toddler ass would channel harry belafonte....eerie but fun!

Evidently, Canadian pressings of "Belafonte at Carnegie Hall" would have used the Red Seal label - given that U.S. pressings used the regular black label.

I'm not sure about this slow version...

I've got a copy of that old LP, but yours sounds much less scratchy and chewed up than mine. I used to sing this song to my kids; my daughter called it the "Monkey's Uncle" song...??!!
In case people don't know, Harry B. is a wonderful and kind human being, and I consider it a bit of a privelege to be alive during his lifetime. Thanks for sharing the tune!

Yes I am lucky... this copy is my Grandpa's and I'm just "borrowing" it from him (he knows he'll never see it again). Doesn't matter though; the reason it sounds so good I think is because he never much cared for Belafonte!
