This is another 'dodgy' European compilation, that takes advantage of the expiration in UK copyright in recordings after 50 years.[1]

In this case, the artwork says "Made in Portugal" and the artwork is from the Netherlands, but similarities with 'Golden Stars' 3xCD set indicate a UK origin.

The featured material is taken from the Columbia and Rich-R-Tone sessions, which can be found in more complete form and better quality on The Complete Columbia Stanley Brothers and Earliest Recordings: The Complete Rich-R-Tone 78s CDs.

 

For detailed information on the songs/sessions check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book. For page references, see the Original Release entries.
