I can't find this CD anywhere. Please re-issue this CD, it's the best country music from my time. John Conlee's songs bring back such wonderful childhood memories for me. Please, do what you can to bring it back!

This album has got to be reissued. Country Music fans under 30 don't realize how great John Conlee is. This album has all of his best songs. I can't imagine why it's out of stock. Please bring it back so everyone can hear what a true genius John Conlee is and how he shaped country music's history.

I have been looking for this cd, or something close to it for the last three years. I wish you would put this cd back in circulation. John Conlee (IN MY OPINION) HAS ONE OF THE BEST COUNTRY MUSIC VOICES, AND IT IS A TRAVESTY THAT I can't order this cd. Please make the cd available to me, and the thousands that wont it

This is an excellent album which badly needs to be re-released.

You've got to re-issue this CD. I can't live without it. I don't want to live without it. This CD is essential to the very nature of my being. There's a lot of unhappy people in my house right now, because I can't find it. HELP KEEP US ALIVE AND SANE. PLEASE GIVE IT BACK!

My friend tells me she hates country songs where the dog died, the spouse has departed and things are bad. If you feel that way too, you may not want to buy this album. But if you want some of best country songs ever written that run through the range of emotions, this is the album to get. Everyone has probably heard Rose Colored Glasses, which is now a classic and recorded by many other artists. A bit overplayed unfortunately. Better songs of John's are seldom heard any more. The whole range of human tradegy is here: Miss Emily's Picture (lost love); She Can't Say That Anymore (Murder of a cheating spouse); I Don't Remember Loving You (Insanity); and Busted (Broke and out of a job). Conlee does not have the best voice and some of his songs sound a lot alike, but these songs tug at something deep within all of us that makes them very listenable. His voice is unique and never difficult to listen to. Some might call this blue collar music, but whatever you want to call it, it's an album that I could not be without. Mine has been played over and over again. Any serious country music collector MUST have this in their collection.

John Conlee has had a phenomenal career in the world of classic country music, and this collection of John Conlee standouts is an ultimate testament to that outstanding career. Most of the selections featured here display a theme of lost love and sheer romantic bliss - a Conlee trademark. These traits are successfully captured in the signature "Rose Colored Glasses", the amnesiac ambience of "I Don't Remember Loving You", the lowbrow man's anthem "Common Man", and in the roundabout, pent-up heavy "Friday Night Blues", among others. There's also a fantastic rendition of Ray Charles' "Busted", as well. "Old School" will defiitely take one back to their high school reunion, replete with memories of their first love. For lovers of up-tempo numbers, there's one titled "I'm Only In It For The Love". This is one CD that's worth many a repeated listen in your CD player, that is...IF ONLY THIS TITLE WAS MADE AVAILABLE ON CD, as other John Conlee so-called "greatest hits" collections aren't as complete as "John Conlee 20 Greatest Hits" is. This is one CD that definitely deserves to carry the "Greatest Hits" title, and is a CD that desperately needs to be brought back into print. And so, the question that needs to be raised is: HEY RECORD COMPANIES, ARE YOU LISTENING!?! PLEASE BRING "JOHN CONLEE 20 GREATEST HITS" BACK INTO PRINT, PRONTO!

Why on earth do you have this out of stock? I have been wanting another copy since my house burned, and I sincerely believe that it is a big winner. There are a lot of us who enjoy that gritty voice of John Conlee and can't travel well without it! That is why I am in a bad mood when I have to travel. Please, please get back John for us......We need him
