16 Biggest Hits

Shame on Columbia/Legacy for misleading their customers. I've been a Ray Price fan for years; long have I waited for a CD version of Price's "I'd Rather Be Sorry". How disappointing it was to find that the one included here is either an utterly inept remix of the original, or it is an alternative mix (selected for reasons devoid of logic). The wonderful steel guitar entrance in the second verse of the original has been rendered virtually inaudible here. And, as if that weren't bad enough, the second verse to Danny Boy has not merely been completely edited out; it's been "hacked off" in the most lamely conspicuous way.

I haven't waited all this time for this kind of disappointment. I own the original LPs. I know what these tracks sound like. Stop taking liberties with classics Columbia/Legacy! Give us the REAL thing!

This CD just doesn't have the quality it should. Some of the songs have had the lyrics cut out or removed such as Danny Boy. I have the Cassette and it was great but this just doesn't do justice to Ray Price or his songs.

The quality is not there and as said in previous review, do not try to "chop up" a classic. For someone who wants a wonderful Ray Price assortment, true to the LP arrangements but on CD, you might consider a 3 disc collection from: www.timelessmusic.com which is a lot more Ray Price for the same money. It is a Sony product and has chrystal clear sound. I have been a Ray Price fan since "Night Life" and this album is not up to his standards. That is just my opinion.
