Notes
How could these historic recordings now be in true stereo? With the use of cutting edge software, various sounds can now be separated and then mixed together as if they were originally recorded on multi-track tape. You will hear violins, drums, bass, backing vocals, lead vocals and other elements coming from different speakers for a true stereo effect. This is not like the "rechanneled for stereo" used in the 1960s which just added echo for a very poor result. This is real stereo! A modern miracle!

Bonus tracks include Jack Everly's 1992 RCA recordings of the overtures to HIGH BUTTON SHOES and HAZEL FLAGG.
