The Stanley Brothers - Echoes Of Clinch Mountain

(Country Stars CTS-55476) 2002

---

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.

^{[1] In the UK the copyright period was 50 years, but has now been extended to 70 years. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/copyright-in-sound-recordings/copyright-in-sound-recordings}
