These 1960s alternate takes and rarities feature the Trio's co-founders Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane along with John Stewart (who joined the group after Dave Guard's departure). Songs include "Love's Been Good to Me," "Little Play Soldiers," "Love Comes A-Trickling Down" and an instrumental version of Stewart's "Stories of Old"; "Love Poem #1" and "Love Poem #2," "Road Song," and "If I Had a Ship" by Mason Williams; and Stewart's "Go Tell Roger," "January Summer," "When You've Been Away for a Long Time," and "Children of the Morning." "Punctuated by the twang of the banjo, the music of the Kingston Trio had a danceable feel that captured the hearts of pop fans and turned the band into one of the first crossover groups to bridge the folk and pop genres. Because it made three-part harmony and acoustic guitar look so simple, the Trio sparked a wave of interest in folk music across the country … adapting such diverse ethnic music traditions as Appalachian Mountain melodies and Calypso."—St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture
