5.0 out of 5 stars Every song missing in my collection was found here ., March 10, 1999

Bear Family Records ,with this collection has helped me complete one of my most valued collection's. I'm not sure when or if"Faron Young" will ever get his just recognition as to how great of an artist he was.This box set certainly will give you some of the very best recordings to come out of Nashville from the whole decade of the Fifties in c/d quality sound. Can't wait till Bear Family records releases "Faron Young" recordings from the Sixties & Seventies .

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Quality Bear Family Product, August 13, 2002

By	LtCol Richard L. Jones (USAF-Retired) (Warner Robins, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Classic Years 1952-62 (Audio CD)

I bought this set basically to get just one song, one I couldn't find on any other CD, but wound up enjoying quite a few of the others on this comprehensive set.
Great set, outstanding booklet, looks great, sounds even better. Of course, there are some covers of other artist's work plus not very successful attempts to cross over into the '50's Rock and Roll and pop, but with his ultra smooth voice, who cares what he sings, it all sounds good. Vol 1 is the best, his early honky tonk tear jerkers. Vol 5 has some nice sacred numbers as well. Overall, really superior technical quality and appearance, typical of the other Bear Family sets I have purchased, including the three Flatt and Scruggs sets. Keep it up, Bear Family.

Worth every penny. You will never find another box set which covers an artist so completely. And the sound/recordings are clear and crisp. I absolutely love this box set and could not imagine anyone passing up a chance to own this.
