Title: Johnnie in decline; don't start collecting here!
Product review: These "re-creations" of Johnnie's biggest hits were recorded in the early 80s, when his voice was in serious decline. By this time it had acquired a harsh edge, exaggerated by his attempts to reach notes that were increasingly difficult for him to hit. In short, you should instead buy any of several collections of his original Columbia recordings from the '50s - "High Drama" would be an excellent place to start.
