During the summer of 1985, the Staff of Wente Scout Reservation had the opportunity of a life time when they were offered the chance of recording some of their campfire tunes during a marathon three-hour recording session that took place on Saturday June 29 between the commissary and the old admin building on a warm Willits evening. By the end of the evening you can actually hear the crackle of the campfire during the taping of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. A total of 100 cassette tapes were produced after the session and sold to staff, campers, collectors and audiophiles for a meager $10.00. The funds raised were used to fight world thirst and eliminate tule encroachment. Today those coveted tapes are said to be worth thousands of dollars on the black market if they could even be found.
However, here for the first time and for your listening pleasure, we are proud to present each song in its entirety as it was originally recorded and envisioned by the staff using state of the art Dolby B noise reduction.
