Notes: 

In order to fit all tracks desired, I replaced one for another on #1.

#5 is my second Peter, Paul & Mary purchase in three weeks.  After receiving "A Holiday Celebration," I found out that my favorite song of theirs, "A Soalin," was first recorded for "(Moving)" in 1962.  Having two live versions, of course I had to hear the original.  "(Moving)" (#2 in the US, 1963, Billboard) generated one top 10 hit for the trio, "Puff, The Magic Dragon" and includes the folk standard, "This Land Is Your Land."
