Epic's 1987
Super Hits is a budget-line sampler of
George Jones' '70s and '80s work for the label -- which means, of course, that the first three songs on the album (
"White Lightning," "Why Baby Why," "The Window Up Above") are
not original recordings, they're remakes.
Billy Sherrill-produced remakes, that is, which means they're better and more interesting than your average remakes, but they're not as good as the
Starday/
Mercury/
UA originals (plus, they're recycled from the 1977 collection,
All-Time Greatest Hits, Vol. 1). The rest of the song selection is highlighted by a four-song stretch in the middle of the record that brings you
"A Picture of Me (Without You)," "The Grand Tour," "Bartender's Blues," and
"He Stopped Loving Her Today." ~Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
