For those who can't afford the Bear Family boxed set of all of this material and more, this 25 track compilation from the great folks at ASV should suffice and the 25 tracks actually are the biggest hits from early in his career including the classics Take Me In Your Arms and Hold Me, the original Cattle Call (actually a 1955 remake was the hit but here you get THE original recording and yes, he can yodel very well), Bouquet of Roses, Texarkana Baby, Anytime, Just a Little Lovin', It's a Sin, That's How Much I Love You and many others. The previous critic is right that the sound quality is great throughout the compilation and the music is essential.

Remember a few years ago when the only thing available on Eddy Arnold was remakes of his early hits.

Well this is one of the most welcome releases ever. 25 original recordings from 44-49. Let me say that again "ORIGINAL RECORDINGS." You get the original recording of "Cattle Call" not the 1959 version or the 1954 version(although that is my all time favorite).

The booklet is awesome and the songs have recording dates and chart info.

Once again my only complaint is the uuuuuuggglyyyy ASV design.

My voice and Eddie's were very close to being duplicate of one another in the 60's - 70's. I lost my voice box to cancer in 1999 and use a prosthetic device to speak. I have friends that invent new products every day for the speech impared. I plan to obtain one of Eddie Arnolds records, take the voice monulation on an osccilliscope etc., and the company that produces electric larynx devices, will be challeged to duplicate my voice on an electrical chip or in this case Eddie's voice.
