While the title of this album is "Classic Patsy Cline," it could just as easily have been titled "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2." This release complements "12 Greatest Hits," by including the remainder of Patsy's charted classics which "12 Greatest Hits" omitted: "When I Get Through With You" (#10, 1962), "Imagine That" (#21, 1962), "Heartaches" (#73, 1962), "When You Need A Laugh" (#47, 1963) and "He Called Me Baby" (#23, 1964). It also includes Patsy's 1961 remake of her 1957 #14 Hit, "A Poor Man's Roses." An additional highlight of this set is Patsy's treatment of Irving Berlin's "Always," a true American masterpiece. The sound quality of this CD is exceptional, and the inserts include a couple of rare pictures from her original album cover photo sessions. If "12 Greatest Hits" whet your appetite for the music of Patsy Cline, don't overlook this gem.
This disc whilst missing out on some of Patsy's biggest hits is no worse for that. Its a well thought out selection with the bonus of exceptional remastering. Anyone with more than one Patsy Cline disc in their collection will be know how variable the sound quality can be. This has to be the best I have heard her original recordings sound. A must for any Patsy Cline fan.
I love listening to Patsy Cline. This is a terrific CD. What else can be said. The CD was shipped promptly and arrived without problem.
