Discography

Note: I compiled this discography for Pete's autobiography Where Have All the Flowers Gone: A Singalong Memoir. Please contact me at rasongbook@gmail.com with additions and corrections. Thank you! - Peter Blood

Virtually all these songs are available in an abbreviated form on the mp3 disc that accompanies the 2009 Norton edition of Where Have All the Flowers Gone. This wonderful resource was put together by David Bernz from many different recordings.

The following list indicates where specific songs in this book can be found on the author's recordings, as well as on selective recordings by other artists.  Songs not listed have not been released on any recordings to date to my knowledge.

A listing of Pete Seeger's recordings that include more than one song in this collection with catalog information can be found at the end of this discography. A different Pete Seeger discography can be found in David Dunaway's revised and re-issued biography, How Can I Keep from Singing (see Bibliography).

Over 80 of the songs in this book are available from Appleseed Recordings on a 3 volume series called the Songs of Pete Seeger and a new Pete Seeger CD, called “At 89”.  The Songs of Pete Seeger CDs consist mainly of other artists recording songs that Seeger has written or been closely identified with. These volumes recordings are abbreviated in this Discography as follows:

  • S of PS V.1 = Where Have All the Flowers Gone: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Volume 1 (2 CD set)
  • S of PS V.2 = If I Had a Song: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Volume 2
  • S of PS V.3 = Seeds: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Volume 3 (2 CD set) Note: The first disc includes tracks of Seeger singing himself along with his grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger.
  • At 89” is the 2008 release of new Pete Seeger recordings and includes many songs from this book never before recorded. 

Although many of the Seeger recordings included in this discography are out of print, a number have recently been reissued on compact disc by Folkways, Columbia, Vanguard, and other labels.  Bear Family Records has issued a 10 CD set “Songs for Political Action” that includes much of the early material found in Chapter 2 (see below under Almanac Singers recordings).  In addition, all LPs on the Folkways label can be purchased as custom CDs with the original cover art and liner notes directly from Smithsonian Folkways.  For ordering information and a catalog, contact: Smithsonian Folkways Records, 600 Maryland Ave. SW, Suite 2001, Washington, DC  20024 . Phone: 1-888-FOLKWAYS (365-5929)  or 1-202-633-6450, Fax  202-633-6477. Website: www.folkways.si.edu.

Nearly 1200 mp3 tracks for Pete Seeger are listed on www.rhapsody.com/peteseeger

Over 20 Pete Seeger CDs can also be ordered from this website.

Titles in bold had been released on CD as of 2008. Others may be as well. Not all of these are currently available in release but can often be found on www.discogs.com or Amazon as used copies.
