A message song that embodies the ideals of 60s folk music.
A Japanese 7-inch released by Peter, Paul & Mary in 1967. Side A features "I Dig Rock and Roll Music" and side B features "The Great Mandella," both of which convey social themes through clear melodies.
This single was produced by a trio representing the folk revival era with an awareness of the rock era. Side A is a pop song with a light rhythm and a touch of irony, while Side B is an introspective ballad with an anti-war theme. Peter Yarrow's lyrics convey a clear and human message. While the arrangement is guitar-driven, the vocal harmonies are highly precise, making this a work that reflects the social climate of the time.
