The Everly Brothers The Very Best Of The Everly Brothers (1964)
The Very Best Of The Everly Brothers\n1988 Warner Bros. Records, Inc.\n\nOriginally Released August 1964\nCD Edition Released January 1988\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: The operative word here is: beware. This does indeed have 12 of their biggest hits, but half of them are re-recorded versions of Cadence-era material. It's not that they're bad or radically different (after all, they were recorded only a few years later). But why settle for these when only the originals will do? -- Richie Unterberger\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThe exception to the rule..., May 20, 2003\nReviewer: A music fan\nThis 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.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nYou Can Do Better...., December 15, 2002\nReviewer: Gerald J Reynolds (Stevenson Ranch, Ca United States)\nUnless 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.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThis is as good as it gets when it come to two-part harmony, December 17, 2000\nReviewer: Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City: Duluth, MN United States)\nThere is something about the harmony of members of the same family singing together. This has been true from the Lennon Sisters to the Smother Brothers to the Judds or who ever you happen to like. But there might never be a better example of sibling singing than Don and Phil Everly. I do not think there is a better song in the world for guys who cannot sing than "All I Have to Do Is Dream." The harmonies are so basic and yet so effective. "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up Little Susie," "Cathy's Clown" and "Devoted to You" are just a notch below that one. The best thing about singing along with the Everly Brothers is that you can just switch which part you are doing and see the same song all over again. "The Very Best of the Everly Brothers" is one of the best sing-along albums you could possibly own.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nthe rest of the story..., December 7, 2000\nReviewer: "gordon@ruraltel.net" (Oakley, KS USA)\nAll right, it's true, the Cadence songs on this CD are NOT the recordings that were done in the 50s that were the big hits.\nBUT, these recordings are in beautiful stereo, cut with the same recording team that had scored big with Cathy's Clown. So, though these ARE remakes, they were done when the Everly Brothers were still flying high, with a crack band and great production. Are you telling me that the world can't handle, doesn't want, a mono AND a stereo version of "All I Have to Do is Dream"?\n\nAs far as I know, this is the only place you can get these really great stereo remakes of the Cadence classics. It's not the place to start with the Everlys, true enough. But if you love these guys and want a little further ear candy, want to hear those Cadence classics done with the same breathtaking production that you heard from the early Warner Brothers material, then you will be bowled over by this CD. I was.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nthe early hits are remakes not the original Cadence hits, January 29, 2000\nReviewer: Bradley Olson (Bemidji, MN United States)\nI have this collection on vinyl and I'd like to tell you not to buy this collection all of the hits that they originally recorded on Cadence are remakes and not the original Cadence recordings. For the original versions, they are on CD's issued by Rhino, Ace, Bear Family and other labels (one of the notable CD's is Rhino's "Cadence Classics: 20 Greatest Hits"). The tracks that were not on Cadence are available on other collections that Warner Bros. has issued such as the "Walk Right Back" 2 CD set and the "Golden Hits of The Everly Brothers" so buy those collections instead of this collection.\n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nVERY BEST OF THE EVERLY BROTHERS includes some re-recorded versions of the Brothers' hits ("Bye Bye Love", "Wake Up Little Susie" and others), recorded in 1965, along with some original versions (including "Cathy's Clown" and "Walk Right Back").\nThe Everly Brothers: Don Everly, Phil Everly (vocals, guitar).\n\nIncludes liner notes by Stan Cornyn.
This misc cd contains 12 tracks and runs 29min 3sec.
