2.0 out of 5 stars Inexcusable, July 13, 2002

Dolly Parton's 1982 album GREATEST HITS is a poor excuse for a greatest hits album. What was RCA thinking? First we only have 9 tracks on here. On the cassette, there are 3 additional songs which do not show up on the CD, which makes no sense. "Applejack", "Heartbreak Express" and "Me And Little Andy" fail to make an appearance on the CD. Instead we have 9 songs, which don't even make up 30 minutes of music on this CD. There are some great songs though, like a new version of "I Will Always Love You", and classics like "It's All Wrong But It's All Right", "Two Doors Down", "9 to 5", "Islands in the Stream", "But You Know I Love You", "Here You Come Again", "Old Flames (Cant Hold A Candle To You)" and "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind". Nice songs, but overall disapointing considering her catalog, and the amount of music each CD can hold, this is not good. Save your money and buy another compilation which has all of these songs, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dirty, Dirty Title., November 18, 1999

Though the songs are great, the title of this collection coupled with that picture of her, back arched like that, make me quake. Who's that keeping Kleenix in business? It's me! It's me! Say this aloud: Dolly Parton's Greatest Hits. Again! Louder! Oops! Gotta go.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original Greatest Hits, January 11, 2003

This CD may be getting some bad rep from those who do not know the history of it. It's true that it doesn't have the 20 song compilations that the imports have these days, but this is the original "Greatest Hits" album of Dolly, originally released in the early 80's. It went double platinum I think when it was first released. The album has a history, with the original having "Hard Candy Christmas" and the remakes not having it. It looks like the CD is still in print, with only a few copies left however. In the mid-80's there weren't as many complilations as there are today of Dolly, and back in it's day, this CD was a #1 album to have! It still contains Dolly's classic hit singles, and is great to pop in your CD player and listen to on a nice, quiet evening at home.
