If you are lucky, you have the original 1985 1st pressing of this disc. Not only does this rare and OOP version contain the fantastic studio chatter leading into the gorgeous true stereo sound of track 20, but it also contains a count-in of "One, two, two" by the producer on track 19, another true stereo gem! And I didn't type the quote wrong. To my knowledge subsequent pressings do not have this erroneous count-in on track 19, only the 1st pressing. (I know several other fans who have this CD and their copy does not have the chatter on track 19.) The sound quality of the CD is superb! On tracks 19 and 20, with headphones on, you feel as if you are in the studio with Buddy and the musicians! Tracks 1 through 18 are mono and not as spectacular as hearing the studio ambience on the stereo cuts, but they sound great anyway. The only thing that keeps this CD from being absolutely faultless is the peculiar omission of two true stereo gems, "Raining In my Heart" which is available on a separate MCA CD titled "Vintage Music - Volumes 5 & 6". It too has the producer's count-in, but this time, he correctly counts to three! Also, track 18 "Reminiscing" is in mono on this disc, but it can be found in true stereo on another MCA CD titled "Vintage Music - Volume 17 & 18. Why the stereo master wasn't used here is unclear. Perhaps it hadn't been discovered and remastered at the time this disc was made. Anyway, "if" MCA would have included "Raining In My Heart" in stereo as track 21 on this CD and "if" they would have issued track 18 "Reminiscing" in stereo rather than mono, this CD would have been simply perfect! How much luckier can you get?Read full review

All of Buddy's great songs on one CD that won't break the bank. The studio chat on True Love Ways is neat, and one of Buddy's 1956 Decca session recordings appears on this disc too (Rock Around with Ollie Vee). Burned a copy to play and put the original back in it's case and in the CD rack.
I'm old school. And that's exactly how this cd sound. They didn't enhanced the sound. They left it alone. It was like listening to a record. So glad I got this. Highly recommended.
