All over this land : singles As & Bs and more 1949-1953

"The Weavers were (...) four political progressives [including Pete Seeger] with strong singing voices that blended in rich harmony ... A huge commercial success before being blacklisted for being commies ... This 2-CD set collects their original master recordings, and while the slick production behind the earnest vocals may sound quaint to contemporary ears, there are endless melodic rewards for those willing to discard jaded tastes. Attentive listeners will note how The Weavers preceded and begat the skiffle and folk movements, as well as first recording later hits by Lonnie Donegan and The Beach Boys".
