If you've stopped here because you're seeking Sue Thompson's greatest hits and perhaps are trying to decide between this offering and one of the others ... well, as far as I'm concerned there is no contest. Go for Collectables' 18-track Golden Classics edition which is easily the best available, giving you ALL seven of her Billboard Pop Hot 100 hit singles as well as 5 of the  B-sides, and all with a much superior sound quality and more detailed liner notes.

Here you get some rudimentary notes in a single page by Don Ovens in a volume which follows Curb's usual pattern of blaring GREATEST HITS - and then failing to deliver. Oh, they do come close, providing six of the seven Hot 100 entries and three of her later 12 Country charting singles, but when it comes to tracks 7, 11 and 12 I would like to have someone at Curb explain exactly how these were interpreted to be from among her greatest hits. Her covers of Tennessee Waltz and I Can't Stop Loving You were failed releases in, respectively, May 1969 on Hickory 1534 and May 1975 on Hickory/MGM 346, while She Reminds Me Of Me is from her 1966 album "Sue Thompson With Strings Attached" (Hickory LPM/LPS-130).

In their place they might have instead placed Willie Can, which is the missing Hot 100 entry, going to # 78 in January 1963 on Hickory 1196 b/w Too Much In Love. And any tendency to pass this omission off by claiming it was a minor hit and so therefore not among her "greatest" is offset by the inclusion of Never Naughty Rosie which barely made the Country Top 100 in February 1976 when it reached # 95 on Hickory/MGM 364. Another in that vein is Candy And Roses, a duet with Don Gibson that finished at # 72 Country in Nov 1972 on Hickory 1652.  At least Big Mabel Murphy, in addition to reaching # 50 Country in August 1975 on Hickory/MGM 354, also scored at # 40 on the Adult Contemporary charts.

If they wanted to include her "greatest" Country hits they would have been better off with I Think They Call It Love - another duet with Don Gibson that reached # 37 in Aug-Sept 1972 on Hickory 1646, Good Old Fashioned Country Love - a # 31 in Aug-Sept 1974 on Hickory/MGM 324; and Oh, How Love Changes - a # 36 in July-Aug 1975 on HickoryMGM 350.
