The Early Years

The Early Years was a compilation of seven recordings Phil Ochs made for a Broadside compilation in 1964 and twelve made at three Newport Folk Festivals in 1963, 1964 and 1966, the latter tracks previously released on the 1996 compilation Phil Ochs Live at Newport.

Of the seven studio tracks, only five had actually been released by Broadside on the compilation The Original New Folks, Vol. 2, "How Long" and "Davey Moore" making their debut here. They are all in the vein of Ochs' first two albums, with their focus on human and civil rights stories seemingly pulled from Newsweek. The seminal "There But For Fortune" made its debut here.
