As A CD Release Of A Vinyl Album This Is Skimpy


Even when this first came out as an LP it was a bit misleading as neither Red River Valley nor Street Of Laredo were hits in the accepted sense of the word (i. While RCA is busy re-releasing, with additional tracks, some of their Elvis Presley CDs which, when first issued, were simply CD versions of 10- to 12-track vinyl albums, Columbia doesn't seem to be following suit. e. , charted singles on either the Country or Billboard Pop charts). In addition, five more tracks were uncharted B-sides of hits: Saddle Tramp b/o Big Iron (# 5 Country/# 20 Pop Hot 100 in spring 1960); I Told My Heart b/o Is There Any Chance (# 31 Hot 100 in summer 1960); Ride Cowboy Ride b/o Five Brothers (# 26 Country/# 74 Hot 100 in fall 1960 - and NOT here); A Time And A Place For Everything b/o Ballad Of The Alamo (# 34 Hot 100 in November 1960); and Like All The Other Times b/w Don't Worry (# 1 Country for TEN weeks/# 3 Hot 100 in early 1961).

In addition to the five hits just mentioned, the only other one here is El Paso, which hit # 1 Country for SEVEN weeks and # 1 Hot 100 for two weeks in late 1959/early 1960. The flip of that was Running Gun, and it's not included here. Nor are there any liner notes or discography of the contents included.

So why did I assign 4 stars for such a meagre release? Simply because Is There Any Chance and Ballad Of The Alamo are among the hardest-to-find in quality CD format for Marty. And make no mistake, the AAD sound is just right. So is the price.
