Please rate this album:

This is a Japanese compilation of Starday material, that was released in 1964, and came with a lyric sheet. Five tracks are taken from the Stanley's Mountain Song Favorites album; four from the Sacred Songs From The Hills LP; and the remaining five from the Mountain Music Sound Of... LP, which also provided the source for the cover photo.

The OBI strip on this album is glued to the rear sleeve.

All tracks can now be found on The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 4xCD box set.
