This is a budget comp of George Jones during his United Artists years, and is about one-third the size of the more expensive double CD issued by Razor & Tie. Still, the latter set is superior in sound, documentation, and, of course, selection. This version, issued by Capitol/EMI Special Markets (read: the reissue bargain-basement bin division), seems to have been picked strictly by random from those tapes as there are only a few singles here; none of the duets with Melba Montgomery, either. The music is terrific, but there's so little of it, it hardly seems worth the investment. Look for the R&T package with the same title instead. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
