The Stanley Brothers - 16 Greatest Hits

(Gusto SD-3003) 1978

---

I don't have a copy of this compilation, the first of many re-packages on the Gusto label. From on-line listings, it looks like the first version of How Mountain Girls Can Love and Train 45 have been used, but I could be wrong.

The album has been reissued on CD (Hollywood HCD-133) 1987 and (Gusto/King KG 2001-2) 2004. The 2004 reissue substitutes I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow with Don't Cheat In Our Hometown.

Nowadays probably the best way to get all the King / Starday material, is on the two 4xCD set's The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965.

For a detailed breakdown and background to these sessions, check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book, pages 91, 100-105, 108-114, 128-129, 139, 142-144, 149-150, 158, 165-172, and 201-203.
