Chad Mitchell Trio

Arrives! / In Action & More Chad Mitchell Trio

The Chad Mitchell Trio were one of the most popular, successful and influential groups of the late 50s U. S. Folk revival.

They built a big reputation for their political and social commentary, earning notoriety for wicked, biting satire, unswerving support of civil rights, and their commitment to the anti-war movement.

This compilation reissues their first two studio albums, "Arrives!" (1959) and "In Action" (1962) - the latter would famously be reissued as "Blowin' In The Wind" the following year.

Also features a half-dozen bonus tracks, which includes a pair of cuts from their guest appearance on the "Belafonte Returns To Carnegie Hall" LP (1960).

This set is complementary to the earlier Jasmine compilation, "The Chad Mitchell Trio Live", which comprised their first two live albums. Much of this material is difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
