Record labels and manufacturers often mark the product casing to indicate
an "overstock" item that is offered for sale at a price significantly lower
than the manufacturer's selling price.
At OLDIES.com all item numbers
beginning with the prefix "VCL" are special clearance items that contain
this small marking. Because of this small marking, we are able to sell
these items to you at significant discount. Many of the audio CDs that
we advertise for $5.98 and lower are still sold for $15 and higher
elsewhere.
Rest assured, the audio CD is in brand-new condition, as we
do not sell used or second-hand product.
The legendary Pete Seeger is the greatest influence on the modern Folk music world - many people got their first exposure to folk music through him. Equally known for his work with Woody Guthrie as with The Weavers - the group he himself formed - Seeger sprinkled his concerts and recordings with many different types of music, from Spanish, African, folk, and protest tunes to Negro work songs. This disc showcases this incomparable artist at his performing best.

These 22 tracks are completely delightful, showcasing the great good humor and remarkable musicological breadth of Pete Seeger, sterling qualities that are often clouded by his popular image as a leftist rabble-rouser. From rousing singalongs like "T for Texas" to sweet pop tunes like "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," with stops for traditional folk ballads like "Erie Canal" and "Greenland Whale Fisheries" and caustic social commentaries like "Money Is King," Seeger covers an impressive range of topics and moods. One unexpected highlight is a lovely batch of melodies played sweetly on a recorder. That there are surprisingly few Seeger live recordings makes CONCERT FOLK SONGS AND BALLADS of historical as well as musical interest.
