This is a 1964 compilation of King era material, which for some strange reason features the Rouse Brothers re-make of Orange Blossom Special rather than the Stanley Brothers!
It's pressed in clear red vinyl and to my ear it sounds like a little reverb has been added.
All tracks, except Orange Blossom Special, can now be found on The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD box sets.
For detailed information on these songs / sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book. For page references, see the Original Release entries.
