However I bought it mainly for one song. Good Timin'. I hadn't found that on any various artists CD so I decided to buy this one. Great clearity and is the original cut. So for Handy Man and Good Timin I rate this CD a excellent. The rest of the songs do have very good clearity and if you enjoyed Jimmy back then (I think he should have gotten better material and air play) you should enjoy this CD.

Good to have this on CD - one of the forgotten stars of the sixties, famous for big number one smash hits: "Handy Man" ( Of Course ) plus "Good Timin'" - one of the classics of that era!

Good to have in your collection of oldies but goodies - Jimmy has an easily recognisable yet distinctive voice. If you've never heard him before, try it - you'll be more than delighted!!!

Jones managed to score 4 songs on the pop chart between 1959 and 1961.
1."Handy man" -- top ten hit.
2."Good timin" -- top ten hit.
3."That's when I cried" -- didn't chart well, but it's a great song.
4."I told you so" -- didn't chart well, but it's a good 60's song.

This 20 track C.D. would be better if it included all 4 singles,
but missing is "That's when I cried", and only one b-side is here.
Still, there is some good music here.
But if your looking for that classic 60s sound,
notice that some of his 70's tracks are here also.

Jones was still recording in the late sixties to seventies.
And had his own record label.

The label is "Aim records" made in 2005.
