Thread Name: Most Influential Album?
Subject: RE: Most Influential Album?
I found it also (googled with "Advanced Search").

Basically good article in praise of the Kingston Trio. Contains the usual puff-job that PR types write. Naturally. Liner notes. HERE.

I would need some verification of anything I read off of some recording artist's liner notes.

Besides, that just reiterates what's already been said. Nobody has denied that they had a hit album. Maybe a couple of hit albums. Nor has anybody denied that they did wield a fair amount of influence. But the question is, just how influential were they in relation to the folk revival? The MOST INFLUENTIAL album?

For example, in the UK, I tend to think that their influence was minimal. Perhaps some of our British friends could chime in on this.
