This review is from: Platinum Collection (Audio CD)

As well as a good sampling of Gene Pitney's music, this set offers the unusual feature of a good number of mono versions of songs usually only in stereo on cd.

As such, these mono tracks are probably closer to the hit versions of those songs.

Also notable is Town Without Pity, in Italian, in stereo.

For convenience, here's the track listing with my notes on mono or unexpected stereo

A great collection. I had forgotten some of the outstanding songs Gene Pitney had sung. This contained all the songs I had hoped and more.
