This is a Japanese compilation which draws on the King/Starday era, except for A Beautiful Life which comes from the 1965 Wayne Raney sessions and was licensed to Starday for the Jacob's Vision release.
The album comes with a 12" x 12" insert with the lyrics to all 14 tracks in English.
Today, probably the best way to get all the King/Starday material is on the excellent The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD sets... A Beautiful Life is a little harder to find, but is on the Rimrock A Beautiful Life album which has been extensively reissued.
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.
