This collection does contain 12 of his biggest hits from the 1944-1967 but many of the early songs are not in their original hit versions on this CD but rather they are stereo remakes but they are well done. The 1960's hits are the original recordings though. The early tracks represented here by stereo remakes are Cattle Call, Bouquet of Roses, Just a Little Lovin' (Will Go a Long, Long Way), I'll Hold You In My Heart, Bouquet of Roses, Anytime, You Don't Know Me, and I Don't Really Want To Know, but the rest of these tracks are the original hit versions. For the original versions of his early hits there are other CD's available that offer them but for the new fan this is a great introduction to his talent but for a comprehensive view of his early hits in their original versions, you can either get the Bear Family boxed set or ASV's "Early Hits of The Tennessee Plowboy" and for the hits that were released after this collection was released, DCC has reissued "The Best of Eddy Arnold Vol. II" and "Essential Eddy Arnold" is still a great collection to get no matter what despite the duplicates.

Yes, the previous reviewer was right, there are quite a few stereo re-makes on here, but that doesn't take away from the collection a bit. This album speaks volumes of what Country Music was during the height of the "Nashville Sound". Eddy never sounds buried amongst the strings & vocals, but thrives from them. Here is a true musician-he can handle the unadorned vocal style of the likes of Hank Williams, or he can get all uptown and smooth like Perry Como or Dean Martin. If this set doesn't give you everything you want, search for the out of print LP's "My World" and "Pop Hits From The Country Side" which are excellent compliments to this collection.

This is an excellent compilation of some songs most associated with Eddy Arnold. Yes, some complain that some of these songs are remakes. So what's wrong with that? In my view, Eddy got better and better as his career developed, so I enjoy hearing some of his early hits recorded again when he had reached maturity as a singer. Also, some are also original recordings, and they continue to be good. Eddy Arnold is special. His warm, straight forward and melodious way with a song, plus his unique way of presenting the lyrics make his music very believable and loveable for those who enjoy unpretentious warmth in a song. Eddy charms a song. That's not everybody's kind of music, but for those who like their music that way, really ought to give Eddy Arnold a try. This album is a good place to start.

The Richest Man in the World
I'm looking for Eddie's recording that I thought was "The Richest Man in the World". Does anybody know the real title of the song and where I can find it?

REMASTERING FLAWS? OR WAS IT JUST MY CD?
The only song on this CD that I wanted was "Anytime".
I believe that there is a flaw in the way it was mastered. Read more

Hate to break the news
...But ALL of these songs are remakes made for Mercury Records in the early 70's.
Arnold is famous for remaking his hits over and over again. Read more
