Thread Name: Theo Bikel - discography & CD reissues
Subject: Theodore Bikel Sings Yiddish Theatre & Folk Songs
Perhaps the finest Theodore Bikel CD available is from Rhino Handmade, Theodore Bikel's Treasury Of Yiddish Theatre And Folk Songs. It includes 26 tracks, taken from three Elektra Albums: This is a limited-quantity resissue released in 2003. I see that Amazon no longer carries it, but it should be available from some retailers.
The CD booklet is wonderful, with full lyrics and translations.
The complete Sings Jewish Folks Songs is also available as a CD from Collectors' Choice Music:
    Side 1
  1. Der Rebe Elimelech
  2. Di Yontevdike Teyg
  3. Sha Shtil
  4. Di Ban
  5. Kum Aher Du Filozof
  6. Di Mezinke
  7. A Sudenyu
  8. Achtsik Er Un Zibetsik Zi

  9. Side 2
  10. Di Mame Iz Gegangen
  11. Margaritkelech
