Classic Everly - A Must for all their Fans.......2007-02-18

Treat yourself to the sweet harmonies of the Everly Brothers, with a CD that has been remastered to underscore their pure sound. Played this for my musician son in law who was not familiar with their music and he is so impressed. All the hits are here, sounding better than ever. An outstanding addition to your collection --

The BEST Everly Brothers album you will ever need, .......2007-01-10

Long ago in californialand, i heard the last everly brothers "hit", on the wings of a nightingale, 1 time and i knew I HAD to have it. Took me about 20 years to find it, in this album. If you really like good music, with tight harmonies, good guitar work, words you can understand, a little bit of country and early rock to the still bitchin, fresh,updated sound of nightingale, then STOP RIGHT HERE and get this album. Enough said!

Everly Brothers, best of.......2007-01-09

The Millennium collection seems to have the songs I always want from a group or artist. The quality of the sound is there everytime. As the local music stores disappear it is good to be able to trust a system like this as I replace much of my vinyl for a CD collection. This CD gives me what I want for the Everly Brothers in one purchase.

The Best.......2004-04-01

Any fan who appreciates the Everly Brothers has to have
this album. The remastered sound is superb of course, but
the deciding factor on this one should be the inclusion
of their last hit, after more than 20 years had passed since
their previous one.
After the team reunited, one of their biggest fans wrote
a song especially for them. Paul McCartney wrote "Wings of
a Nightingale" for them, and it is a truly beautiful song
that displays their harmony at its best, and the song is
not usually found on other collections.
Get the best of all their classic early hits, plus this
last hit.
A must have for any fan.

Petula Takes Dusty to Music School.......2007-06-10

I bought this CD for two reasons. One for the stunning cover of Petula Clark and the other is Petula doing a song with her 60's rival Dusty Springfield. Incredibly the song has never been released until now!

Duets with Petula Clark.......2007-05-16

This is a must have for any fan of Petula Clark. This represents some of her finest work. Her ability to harmonize with the partner solidifies her place among the finest recording artists of all time. While all the tracks are exceptional, the #s with Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee, and Andy Williams are Grammy material. She actually wrote the song with Andy just this last year. What a talent....

A must buy for Petula diehard fans.......2007-05-08

A product such as this is clearly aimed at the diehards market. A collection of rarities comprising mostly live duets with other established artistes from 60s and 70s TV, "Corner Of The Sky" is the standout track here. Dusty Springfield is in top form, her vocals from a 1974 recording session as gorgeous and perfectly nuanced as ever. Petula Clark added her own vocals over Dusty's incomplete recording quite recently to fulfill a deeply held desire to have sung with Dusty while she was still alive and the result is - barring some awkward phrasing by Petula on the first chorus - simply smashing.

"Baby It's Cold Outside" (with Rod McKuen) is also great - it works so much better than Rod's duet of the same song with Dusty on his late 70s Christmas TV special because this kind of song suits Petula so much better than Dusty. Other special highlights for me include the incredibly gritty "Can't Get You To Love Me" with Gilbert O'Sullivan which proves Petula's situational rock credibility and her well matched duet of "I'm A Woman/Wedding Bell Blues" with the late great Peggy Lee.

There're other good stuff with Harry Belafonte and Bobby Darin, but I'd be lying if I said the album is devoid of turkeys - the Andy Williams number in particular is a low point.

All in, "Duets" is a must buy for Petula diehard fans.

A FRESH BREATH OF AIR.......2007-04-11

Nothing Petula Clark does can be wrong. From her very beginnings she was way ahead of the crowd making versions of continental hits a specialty of the European hit parade, transcending borders and gaining fame and recognition everywhere except-where else?!?- the US... Even though she was already well established in the rest of the world as one of England's top chanteuses in the early 60's , it was'nt until "DOWTOWN" that she finally became a household name in Peoria. This collection will most likely appeal to her fans only, though there are plenty of other well known artists here to appeal to a wide audience-not just "Downtowners"

Brand New Petula & Dusty! WOW.......2007-04-01

This Cd is well worth the purchase if only for the brand new duet by Petula and Dusty (that history is written about in another review, I won't bore you with it again) but I will bore with HOW GREAT IT IS! While I am tempted to be sad there are not 11 more duets by Dusty and Petula on this cd, I will rave about this great song and it's great singers. The balance of cd is also nice, but the Duet with Dusty is grand.

The Definitive Everly Brothers CD.......2007-03-09

This CD is a must if you enjoy listening to two of the great pioneers of Rock and Roll. The whole CD is of great sound quality. All songs are clear. This CD really takes me back in time. I recommend any one that enjoys old rock and roll hits to purchase this CD.

All the hits are NOT here.......2006-11-14

This doesn't have "That's Old Fashioned (That's the Way Love Should Be)", a top-10 hit in the USA. As far as I can tell that's the only Billboard top-40 hit it doesn't have.

From the fifties to the eighties.......2003-10-11

There have been many Everly Brothers compilations, usually covering different periods of their career. Just occasionally, a compilation is released that spans their career and this double CD almost qualifies as one of them. Actually, almost all the tracks here are from their recordings with Cadence in the fifties and Warner in the sixties, though On the wings of a nightingale (from 1984) has been included. Their wonderful but unsuccessful seventies recordings are missing but this collection is aimed at the casual buyer who is mainly looking for hits - and that's exactly what they will get here.

All the classics are here including Bye bye love, Wake up little Susie, All I have to do is dream, Till I kissed you, Let it be me, Cathy's clown, So sad, Walk right back, Ebony eyes, Temptation, Crying in the rain and Price of love, together with many other fine songs including several minor hits that are often overlooked but deserve to be heard - songs like It's my time, released in the late sixties when the brothers were no longer fashionable.

The lonesome two-part hill harmonies of the Louvin Brothers and Blue Sky Boys were slicked up just a bit and taken to the sock hop by the Everly Brothers. Don and Phil repeatedly scored on the pop, country, and R&B charts from the time they emerged in 1957 with "Bye Bye Love" until the Beatles (great admirers of the Everlys) changed the rules of rock a handful of years later. All-Time Original Hits serves up 16 chart favorites, the latest dating from 1962. The likes of "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," and "Cathy's Clown"--No. 1 pop hits all--sound as sweet and irresistible today as they did when '50s teens where making out to them decades ago. --Steven Stolder

Walk Right Back - to the store and purchase this c.d........2006-01-07

Hi People. Metamorpho is back, reviewing very worthy music for all of you. With this one, I have to say, that for all the great vocal harmonies we've heard in pop music over the last 50 years - it is all due to the incredible influence of The Everlys. It was a thrill to see them perform at the Simon and Garfunkel "Old Friends" tour. Older, but the vocals still had that rich blend.
Rhino has done a wonderful job here. I looked around for a very long time for a compilation like this - but never found it - probably due to the fact that The Everlys moved from Cadence to Warner Bros. records, and copyrights and whatnot probably interfered with a good collection.
Pretty much all of it's here people, with perhaps a few exceptions. "Bye Bye Love", "All I Have to Do Is Dream"'"Wake Up Little Susie","Let It Be Me", "Bird Dog", and much much more - and in all their original forms. I would be remiss if I did not mention my very favorite by them (and a damn near perfect pop song) "Cathy's Clown".
The songs themselves are prime examples of exceptional 50's-60's songcraft. But, what really pushes this to a heaven on earth experience is the natural blend of Phil and Don's harmonies. Absolutely right - and they hit the nail on the head again and again and again.
Metamorpho can hear the grumbling in the audience out there (you KNOW who you are). They are grumbling that this music is dated and that it's not current, and kids today don't listen to this etc. etc. etc. O.K. Metamorpho feels your pain but I am not sympathetic! No. You have NOT been listening to my wisdom. First off - music is an exploration into sometimes new and exciting areas-- and then there is the belief that if a song is good - it is good for all time. Besides-- being a reflective seer is not an easy thing-takes all my energy - and I would not be reporting the excellence of this c.d. unless I thought it was worthy of your attention.
Anyway - no backtalk! The Everly Brothers created music history and this c.d. is a beautiful reason why. Get wise. Listen to Metamorpho and you'll be glad! Later.........

Must Have to Complete any Music Collection!.......2005-07-29

This Everly Brothers compilation is one of the very few that includes one of my favorite EB songs, "That's Old Fashion". The rest of the CD contains all of the usual suspects. I have several EB compilations on vinyl that are as great, but on CD, this is as complete as it gets.

If only "Bowling Green" were here!.......2005-07-25

My first Vinyl album was the very best of the Everly Bros, purchased in 1966. I still have that album, but this collection has a better display of their resume`, hitting all of their great songs except "Claudette" and "Bowling Green".There is another collection entitled " Definitive Everly Bros", which is a more complete Anthology of 50 songs(Import from England),but at a greater expense.This is a very worthy addition to any collector of 50`s and 60`s Country-Rock, and "Rock a billy"sound.Steve D

They were the Greatest!.......2007-05-22

Loved this Album! The first disc has on it some of the best songs they ever recorded! Songs like "Temptation" and "Crying in the Rain" highlight how great Don's voice was at this time! He could sing anything and make it his! Not to discount Phil's "greatest-of-all-time" Harmonizing!! No one has ever been able to duplicate these wonderful guys! It was a pity when they split up, they just didn't sound as good apart. I think they needed each other to bolster one anothers talent. i will probably play this first side until it wears out! Can't get enough of it!! I'm a True Fan Forever! Since I was about 12 yrs old. Jeanie

Walk Right Back-The Everly Brothers.......2007-05-12

This CD is great. It has some songs on it that are hard to find.

Compared to nothing...this is just great music.......2006-06-08

No doubt, the material the Everlys cut for Cadence is classic stuff...it defined the era in which it was released, and remains eminently listenable today; great songs, great voices, great arrangements, all state of the art in the late 50s.

Everyone is always quick to compare the Warner Brothers material to the Cadence material...and find the WB stuff lacking. That is a gross injustice. Simply stated, the Every Brothers were considered passe' in the wake of the British Invasion, just like Roy Orbison, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and a host of other 50s artists. Even King Elvis did not fare that well then. Many of the songs, performances and arrangements contained in this collection WERE hits, many more of them would have been hits had they been released by a "hot commodity".

Most of this material is just very, very good. To compare it to the Cadence material is silly and unfair; the times they were a'changin'. Honestly, this holds up very well when compared to the Candence sides. For the most part, they are great songs, well-arranged and (of course) well-sung. Overall, I think the Rhino 4-CD box covers this period a bit better; better song selection and better sound, but this is still a great collection and a great buy. Long live the Everly Brothers!

There's Better Than This.......2006-05-02

The Everly Brothers are an institution and are deservedly one of the greatest talents, duo or otherwise, of the last century. It would be such a travesty if the uninitiated judged these wonderful singers based upon this album alone. While there may a few keepers on this album, it's mostly stuff that I wouldn't want to hear more than once. To appreciate the wonderful music of the Everlys, buy the Cadence album.

Lots of Great Music.......2005-03-05

This Cd is a must for anyone who loves the Evwerly Brothers. All their hits are here, including Gone Gone Gone which I loved when I was a teenager. I would put it on my dad's old RCA floor model Hi-Fi which had a massive bass speaker. I would turn up the volume and the windows would rattle in the house.
This album also contains some filler which get a little irritating unless you are a dedicated Everly Brother fan.
The sound quality is excellent and the packaging is good.
I think this is a pretty good buy.

Had rock & roll never happened, the Everly Brothers would probably have become famous as straight-ahead country artists in the tradition of such sibling acts as the Blue Sky Boys and the Louvin Brothers. Once Elvis, Carl Perkins, and crew hit, however, the Everlys joined the budding rockabilly ranks in 1957 and became not only huge stars, but the most influential two-part harmony team of all time. This sterling 20-track collection features all their early hits, from "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Suzie," "Bird Dog," and "Devoted to You" (all written by the great Boudleaux Bryant) to Roy Orbison's "Claudette" and their own sparkling originals "Til I Kissed You" and "When Will I Be Loved." --Billy Altman

Customer Reviews:

Never knew what i missed.......2004-01-20

This is an excellent CD featuring 20 of the Everly Brothers best recordings for Cadence Records. There isn't a bad song in the bunch. The only quibble I have is that they could have fit at least 10 more songs on the CD. "Be Bop A-Lula", for instance, is a great song that got left off. Still, 20 songs is more than a lot of Greatest Hits CDs include, so I recommend getting this CD.

What Did I DO THIS?.......2002-12-08

The Everly Brothers was Wild in 1954. They Broke Up in 1973 in 19 years. Terry And Dana Stop at 67-year-old Dino Died in His Heart Attack on the Backseat in the van on Aug. 8, 1991. Dana was Crying and get a Record Like "Wake Up Little Susie" Terry Told Dana Stop at Her Room in '91. Dana Look at the Newspaper and Said "Dino Lawrence was Dead" and "The Everly's Second MCA no. 1 hit. "Diane"" Their Hits "Maybe Tomorrow" "All I Have to Do is Dream" "Claudette" "Bird Dog" "Devoted To You" "Bye Bye Love" "I Wonder if i Care As Much" "This Little Girl Of Mine" "Should We Tell Him" "Problems" "Love of My Life" "(Til) I Kissed You" and Oh What a Feeling."

The Everly's at the peak of their career.......2000-05-08

The Everly Brothers did their very best work on the Cadence label, and this collection puts together their best known cuts and some superb lesser known tracks.

All of the big cross-over hits are here, led by Bye Bye Love, Bird Dog and All I Have to Do is Dream. No one could put the pain of a failed romance into music like the Everly's, be it the eternally hopeful sound of When Will I Be Loved or the agonizingly heart-broken I Wonder If I Care As Much. Still, they weren't afraid to have fun with their music either, and the playfully cute lyrics of Poor Jenny, Problems and I Kissed You help offset the often somber tone of the album.

If you are an avid fan of the Everlys, you will love this collection. If not, you owe it to yourself to discover just how good they really were. Cadence Classics: Their 20 Greatest Hits is just the ticket to do it with.

Worth 10 Stars.......1999-09-07

This is probably their best collection of hits, and the Everly Bros. beautiful harmonies are still as timeless as ever. Now I am asking for help from other Everly Bros. fans-would anyone out there know where I can find their Christmas album-Christmas With The Everly Brothers & the Boys Town Choir-either on vinyl, cassette or cd? I am asking a few mos. ahead of the holiday season in case I there is hope of eventually finding it in time for Christmas. If anyone can provide a few tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Great Duo/Great Songs.......1999-08-24

Some of the finest songs of the late 50s and early 60s. Their influence can be felt on many important groups which followed them. You may have heard of the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.

The Everly Brothers were rock & roll's first true genre hoppers, applying the shuffle of R&B to the streamlined Tin Pan Alley-via-Nashville tunes of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, sung by two inimitable Appalachian high, lonesome voices that conveyed an emotional depth rare in teenage boys. For once, all the sides recorded during the first three years of the Everlys' career are presented on one thoroughly annotated collection, along with a handful of alternate takes and demos. The duo's most popular chart-topping hits from that era are included, but the true gems of the disc are the album tracks. Often accompanied by little more than an acoustic guitar, Don and Phil range from traditional murder ballads to early rock & roll classics to country hits to precious, self-penned love songs, laying down a foundation that the Beatles, among others, built upon. --Kelly Minnis

Tremendous covers of songs by Little Richard, Ray Charles and Roy Orbison. High, lonesome covers of ancient folk songs covering topics mostly dealing with death. I know I sound like a commercial, but this collection was such a fantastic surprise to me that I really want to shout it to the world.

The Everly Brothers are often overlooked or dismissed in any discussion of seminal influences on rock and roll. Too wimpy, many say. Had a few hits, then crashed and burned. But Phil Everly's "Can't Recall" is pretty much a blueprint for the song stylings of Paul Simon. Furthermore, Gram Parsons & Chris Hillman's gorgeous harmonizing within The Flying Burrito Brothers owes a big debt to the Everlys.

Essential.

The early years when all they had to do was dream.......2003-09-28

The Everly brothers were raised on country music but they quickly adapted to rock'n'roll, the exciting new music of the late fifties. In truth, they never strayed all that far from their roots although it seemed a long way at the time. Despite a massive injection of R+B into their music, the music here has a lot more in common with traditional country than with contemporary pop or country music.

The classic songs that the bothers recorded during this period of their career included Bye bye love, Wake up little Susie, All I have to do is dream, Claudette, Bird dog, Devoted to you, Problems, Take a message to Mary, Poor Jenny (included twice because the USA and UK single versions differed), Till I kissed you, Let it be me, When will I be loved and Like strangers. Some were only B-sides originally but all have become classics.

The brothers also recorded fine covers of R+B classics including Rip it up, Keep a knocking, Be bop a lula and Leave my woman alone.

As if to emphasize their determination not to lose their musical roots, they recorded an album of Appalachian folk-country music, Songs our daddy taught us, at the height of their pop success. The tracks from that album occupy the first thirteen tracks of the second CD.

So this collection contains all the music they recorded for Cadence that most people will ever want, although the diehard fans can find alternate takes and demos elsewhere. For those who want more than just the hits, this is the ideal collection of the Everly brothers' fifties music. Other collections are available covering their later music.

the best of the best.......2001-05-12

What more can I say? This has my two favorite Everly Brothers tracks...the original "Wonder If I Care As Much" and "Maybe Tomorrow." Think about it folks...how are you going to go wrong? Buy this. Buy it today. Buy two. It's that good.

Essential collection of seminal rock 'n' roll harmonies.......2001-05-02

Unlike some of the artists who helped birth rock 'n' roll, the Everly Brothers are fairly well represented on CD. In addition to numerous single-disc greatest hits collections, Rhino's 4-CD box set, "Heartaches and Harmonies," provides a stellar overview of their entire career, spanning pre-Cadence, Cadence, Warner Brothers and post-WB recordings. Warner Archive's 2-CD "Walk Right Back" provides a good overview of their decade on Warner Brothers, and Bear Family's "Classic Everly Brothers" covers the pre-Cadence and Cadence years with the German label's typical thoroughness, including alternate takes and radio broadcasts.

Varese's latest collection fits in a small niche between the Rhino and Bear Family boxes, and serves as an essential complement to the Warner Archives set. Though not as complete as the Bear Family issue, the missing rarities are primarily the province of completists, and the domestic price-tag makes this an affordable part of a library of Everly's essentials. As a more complete rendering of the Everly's seminal years, this serves as either an augmentation of the Rhino box (which has half as many Cadence-era tracks) or a complement to the Warner set. The only thing missing from this release is the sort of track-by-track discussion one would expect from a box set. The essay from Andrew Sandoval, featuring interviews with both Everlys, give a sense of the Cadence years, but fails to provide detailed background on all the tracks. And given that many were not hits, the background would be interesting.

That piffling complaint aside, what's here is truly magnificent. Varese's compiled all of the officially issued Cadence sides (both singles and LPs), along with several demo and alternate takes (some collected originally on the Bear Family box, some previously unreleased). From their first hit ("Bye Bye Love") through their final sides for Cadence (Phil's "When Will I Be Loved" and Boudleaux Bryant's "Like Strangers"), the Everly's never fail to deliver the goods. Their incredible string of hits, album tracks and excursions into traditional folk tunes (the entire "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" LP is included), simultaneously redefined the family harmony act, and invented a significant part of rock 'n' roll.

It's almost hard to imagine so many great songs being recorded by a single act in just a three-year span. The sessions themselves often produced multiple hits in a single day (e.g., "All I Have to is Dream" and "Claudette," "Bird Dog" and "Devoted to You," "Take a Message to Mary" and "Poor Jenny," "When Will I Be Loved" and "Like Strangers"), resulting in tremendous chart dominance. Beyond the hits (which sound especially good in the company of the entire Cadence output), these discs are filled with gems from B-sides, albums and the occasional single that didn't top the charts.

The Everly's own pens produced several hits (including "('Til) I Kissed You" and "When Will I Be Loved"), but they also wrote heart-wrenching close-harmony ballads such as "I Wonder if I Care as Much" and "Maybe Tomorrow," and the love-lost classic "Since You Broke My Heart." Additional demos from Phil Everly feature his familiar guitar and voice, but clearly miss the brotherly harmony.

In addition to the hits penned by Felice & Boudleaux Bryant ("Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have to do is Dream," "Bird Dog," "Devoted to You," "Problems," "Take a Message to Mary," "Poor Jenny" presented here in both US and UK single versions, and "Like Strangers"), the pair also provided numerous other tunes (such as "Brand New Heartache" and "Oh True Love"), all of which are included.

Covers of Little Richard's "Keep A-Knockin'" and Ray Charles "Leave My Woman Alone," show just how easily the Everlys could make a song their own. The piano and guitar breaks of "Keep A-Knockin'," though not as manic as Richard's own, display the sort of easy abandon that marked the best early rock 'n' roll. The Charles cover shows how easily the Everlys could stretch their country roots in a bluesy direction.

From their first hit in '57 through their last in '60, the Everly's gave Cadence their very best. Though they'd continue to record great hits for several more years (and essential LPs for the rest of the decade) on Warner Brothers, their seminal work on Cadence glows with a youthful energy and sense of discovery that have rarely been matched. For all but the die-hard Everly's completist, this is the set to get.

The exception to the rule..........2003-05-21

This is the one and ONLY re-recorded hits package I have ever liked or would recommend to anyone. Normally I hate albums with phony re-recorded versions of original songs. But the re-recorded songs on this album are something special, actually IMPROVING on the originals! Don and Phil took special pains to insure that these songs would remain absolutely faithful to the originals, recruiting many of the original session musicians along with song writer Boudleaux Bryant and producer Wesley Rose on hand in the studio. Together they remade 6 classics from the Cadence era (the 6 other songs featured here from their Warner years are the original versions). The Everly's still had those magic vocals and the musicians were well-rehearsed and up to the task. What's so great about these remakes is that they've managed to maintain the soul of the originals while making vast improvements to the overall sound quality. The music is full, rich, and blends beautifully with those awesome Everly Brothers 2-part harmonies. All the songs included here are in true stereo except "Ebony Eyes" which is rechanneled. Are they 100% indistinguishable from the originals? Well, no. So I can't recommend this to someone who just wants the originals. For those folks, I recommend picking up "All-Time Original Hits" instead. But for those who want to hear a little something more from the Everly's, this is a great choice. I only wish they included a few more of their early Cadence hits since these are without a doubt the best remakes I have ever heard. Like I said, the exception to the rule.

You Can Do Better...........2002-12-16

Unless you're actually looking for the 1964 Warner Bros. re-recordings of the 1950's Cadence tracks, you can pass on this one. As re-recordings go, these are excellent, but most folks would rather have the original hit versions. For the best domestic single-disc compilation, pick up Rhino's "All Time Original Hits" from 1999. "Original Hits" features the original versions of the Everly's biggest hits, including classics like "Let It Be Me" and "When Will I Be Loved" that are conspicuously absent from Warner's old "Very Best Of" album. My only knock on "All Time Original Hits" is that there was plenty of room for lesser gems like "Claudette", "Gone, Gone, Gone" and "Bowling Green" that seldom appear on Everly "Best Of" discs.

They're COOL!.......2002-11-11

They sounds Like McBride & the Ride and Deanna Jarrett. The Everly Brothers was Disgust their Song "Bye Bye Love" or "(Til)i kissed You. Don's two Daughters, Dana And Mercedes smile at uncle Phil, He said "you Like It?"

pretty good, but not the original hits.......2001-02-25

What the cover doesn't tell you is that for the most part these are not the original Everlys hits, but a new recording session from the 60s. While some people may prefer these versions because they are stereo, I remain a devotee of the original versions, and was very disappointed when I first put this CD on. That said, having listened to it a couple of times since, the versions really are pretty good, with fine harmonizing and guitar playing. Still, for a one disc compilation, I recommend the 16 Original Hits.

Nostalgia!.......2000-12-29

I have been listening to this album since I was a little girl and it still moves me every time. The two-part harmonies are absolutely cosmic, and singing along is the only thing better than listening. This album goes from lovesick to joyful to hearbroken in 12 tracks. I know some people complain that these are not the original hits, but these are the ones I love, and I would recommend them highly to anyone. Get it! You'll love it too.

The Discription Lies But The Everlys Excell........2007-02-21

I adore the Everly Brothers. They can do no wrong in my book and I have just about every album they have released. If You enjoy perfect harmony then look no further. However, I have a giant problem with whomever was chosen to discribe this collection. I rushed out to get this album full of songs I already own in their original release form due to the fact that the discription said there are false starts and studio chatter. I love studio chatter and false starts due to the fact that you feel your there while the album is being made. When I played the Expensive CD(due to the unnessessary box the CD comes in. The book could have fit in the case)I found no chatter what so ever. I'm glad I have this CD due to different versions of classic songs but I'm furious that the things I was looking for and were promised are missing. For those who enjoy false starts,chatter and listening to the creative process then pick up "All They Had to Do Was Dream". You'll feel be glad you did. I would love to give this a lower number rating due to the fact that the discription is so wrong but it's the Everly Brothers. You just can't do better than the Everly Brothers:)
