Never play with loaded Guns! As this Collection proves. Such a shame to lose such a talent to a game of Russian Roulette. . johnny ace still rules if you never heard johnny ace? please do so now! so sad he killed himself, he was one of the best! real old'old school!. THIS WILL PROBLEY BE THIS CLOSEST YOU'LL GET TO JOHNNY ACE'S COMPLETE DUKE RECORDINGS, BUT THIS IS MISSING A COUPLE OF CHAPTERS This song has ALWAYS been heard in a poorly spliced version, but has been 'Doctored' or Corrected here. The sound quality is great! The digi packaging is real nice! A very short, but To-The-Point informative booklet is also included, Oh! and Johnny's Big Hits: "My Song", "Cross My Heart", "The Clock" "Saving My love For You", And a Cleaned-Up perfect version of: "Pledging My Love". Now on the down side. . . This collection includes the version of "Anymore" with the Chorus Singers (Maybe the Merry Melody Singers or The Anita Kerr Singers) a failed attempt on Duke Records trying to gain 'Crossover' sales. The 'Original' version that has was on the "Memorial Album" (And on a early single) is nowhere to found here? I believe there was even a version (With Chorus Singers) of "Pledging My Love" and maybe even others???. The BIG let down is a Edited Version of "Never Let Me Go" I only know of a 2:48 version, NOT this Edited Version found here on this CD? Even if BOTH versions were included even that wouldn't have been too painful. This is not the first time reissue producer Andy McKae has messed up. It wouldn't hurt if Mr. McKae did his homework just a little bit better, especially if you're gonna call this "The Complete", and we're paying over $20. 00 we should get our money's worth. Overall this is still a nice collection when you get over the goof-ups. You can see a complete list of all Johnny Ace discography, or go back to the Johnny Ace tabs
