The big hit here is "Cathy's Clown" on this Warner Brothers LP re-issue which is in stereo.
However, the other songs on this cd are excellent examples of Don & Phil's style on very catchy pop rock beat songs with a few ballads that highlight their harmonic singing. Some of the songs are written by one or both of the brothers: "Cathy's Clown", "Made To Love" (a hit for Eddie Hodges), "Sigh, Cry, Almost Die", and"That's Just Too Much".

Most of the other songs are written by Boudleaux Bryant and his wife Felice Bryant who wrote hits for The Everly Brothers when they were on the Cadence label. Add in a cover of Little Richard's "Lucille" and an early Mel Tillis song, "Stick With Me Baby", and you have a collection of songs that while nonessential to collectors are very good examples of well crafted sometimes not often heard songs that are hard not to listen to and well worth the time and price.

The classic "Love Hurts" written by Boudleaux Bryant is one of the two versions of the song recorded by The Everlys and later a hit by Nazareth in the 70s. Roy Orbison also recorded "Love Hurts" around this time.

Classic Everly's CD. Not a bad song on it.

Had original LP but it got scratched badly from too much playing it. When the opportunity came up to purchase it on CD is greate.

I have this album. I wanted to get CDs of some of my albums. This is perfect. The same songs, great sound and it doesn't stick in places like my album.(lol) I definitely recommend this buy.
