The sound quality and mastering is actually quite good for this collection of 20 Musicor-era Jones tunes, when GJ was in top voice. Most of these songs seem to have come from the same 2 LP set on Musicor, called Musical Loves Life and Sorrows of America's Great Country Star (some editions came with a photo of GJ). As a serious Jones collector and part-time country LP dealer, I had several copies of the 2 LP set pass through my collection, and every one had the same skip on the song Color of the Blues; obviously a tape-to-disc mastering error. And, yes, the same song with the same skip is to be found on this LP. Buy this CD for the other 19 songs, and look for Color of the Blues elsewhere; it can be found on several other Jones CD's.
