Of all the young lovers smitten by folk music in the '60s, Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker cut the most striking couple, and--as a couple--many of the most striking sides. Over seven Vanguard albums, recorded between 1963 and 1968, Ian & Sylvia lent their vibrato-heavy voices to traditional folk and country songs with strenuous and studied results. However, on indisputably classic Tyson tunes such as "Summer Wages" and "Four Strong Winds," and well-chosen (and, at the time, obscure) ballads by peers such as Bob Dylan ("Tomorrow Is a Long Time") and Steve Gillette ("Darcy Farrow"), their ethereal harmonies and uncluttered acoustic arrangements go a long way towards explaining the duo's popularity and influence. Hard-core fans may frown over the sole previously unreleased track (a toss off called "Je T'aime Marielle"), but they will also cherish Vanguard's sparkling remastering and packaging (a delightfully written appraisal by Colin Escott is included) of this much-needed collection. No better overview of Ian & Sylvia's art can be located. Although you won't find their best album (1970's country-rock gem Great Speckled Bird) here, you will find a cache brimming with the strengths and weaknesses of the folk revival. --Roy Kasten

Ian & Sylvia Vanguard Set December 22, 2008
I'm so glad I decided to make this purchase, inspired by a handful of videos on youtube that recalled my affection for this twosome whose peak years were the mid-60's. The sound quality is excellent and I'm enjoying the songs and the performers as much as I did 45 years ago.

The real 'Mitch and Mickie' November 16, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you've seen the folk music mockumentary 'A Mighty Wind' you'll remember Mitch and Mickie, the canadian duo that had that perfect chemistry and created some of the folk 'anthems' of their generation - well, Ian and Sylvia are their real-life counterparts. This CD box-set covers every I&S Vanguard release. The songs are a great mixture of originals, covers (early Dylan, Lightfoot, among others), and traditional (blues, appalachian, british isles). Over the course of these four discs Ian & Sylvia evolve from tradional acoustic folkies to singer-songwriters making country-tinged electrified rock. The sound quality of this collection is excellent. If you are or Ian & Sylvia - or Mitch & Mickie - you need these DCs.

Although I already owned all the albums from Vanguard that Ian and Sylvia have produced, I purchased this one as soon as I saw that it was available. Their music was without parallel and with the remastering and clearer cd sound it is well worth the cost to add it to your collection. I know that for many a cd just doesn't compare to the old LP's and to an extent I agree, but to have this much music on just four discs is irresistible. An awesome collection from an awesome pair of singers.

2 GREAT voices together in the best 2 part harmony ever. Saw them in person at The Bear in Hunington Beach in 19??. Either solo or together
is great music.

This is a wonderful collection of one of the really great folk groups of the 60s.
Fantastic baritone singing from Ian with soaring harmonies from Sylvia.
In working through the collection one is offered a rather poignant reflection of the separation of their relationship and their music. The latter recordings are sad but subtract nothing from their early achievements.
