The Stanley Brothers - Complete Starday And King Instrumentals

(Gusto/King KSCD5121) 2000

The idea of compiling all of the King/Starday Stanley Brothers instrumentals in one set is quite neat, but this 2xCD set is nowadays redundant, as the two 4xCD box sets The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 contain everything the Stanley Brothers cut for both labels.

I'm not sure, but expect that the 'white' cover came first, as there seem to be more of the 'red' cover version available on ebay etc.

Also, with a total playing time of around 68 mins, this set would have easily fitted onto just one disc...

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.
