Thirty years old: still terrific - By: Gontroppo, 28 Dec 2006 
We have loved this album for 30 years. We are so pleased it has been released on CD. It was originally part of a very small collection of gramophone records, & is now one of hundreds of CDs, but it is one we keep playing & playing.
The singing is flawless, the songs are wonderful & the arrangements are very clever. What more could you want?
It includes The Kings' Singers theme song, "What Kind of Things (do the Kings' Singers sing?)" which is a humorous description of the varietyin their music &in their vocal ranges.
Other highlights are:
Summertime, which is quite close to the original sheet music, carefully arranged for 6 voices.
The folk song Scarborough Fair adheres quite closely to the Simon & Garfunkel arrangement, whereas The Oak & the Ash & Blow Away the Morning Dew are special creations for the group by Gordon Langford.
Time Was & The Green Leaves of Summer show the group's ability to create a wonderful mood through slow, soulful singing.
Highly recommended. Timeless music.
Nice reissue of an early treasure - By: Andrea K Toven, 27 Nov 2000 This is my 4th incarnation of this recording (original LP, reissued LP, CD re-release, & now this). The liner notes include a nice write-up by Brian Kay, the KS original bass. Get this & listen to it, & immediately follow it with a listening of the k's latest, "fire~water". You will be stunned by the growth!
