Claudette was on the Cadence label...

Claudette was released by the Everly Brothers in April 1958 on the Cadence label, two years before they signed with Warner Brothers. That's why it's not on this CD....
Some re-recordings

Love Hurts here is a re-recording and is pretty weak at that. Also there's no Claudette here (a Roy Orbison tune about his wife). Claudette was the B side of one of their hits (don't remember which one--- but I do remember Claudette--love that song by the Everlys. Have to look elsewhere to find it.

Walk Right Back: The Everly Bros.

Man, this brings ME right back. I heard most of these songs the first time around and they still sound good. The Everly's were one of my early favorites and inspirations to play guitar, and still there's only one or two or three things that bring me more pleasure. I could play almost as well as they did, but those amazing brotherly-blended voices are incomparable. Best music purchase of the month.
Great Collection of Songs, however...

By Derek Evan DJ Singer
As an Everly Brothers fan, I definitely enjoyed listening to this collection of songs that they released on the Warner Brothers label. I believe that all of their Top 40 hits from their Warner Brothers days are included here, and with all the other songs that are included as well, it's definitely a great buy for the price! However, I must question the selection process that was used when determining which songs to include. For instance, if you study over the complete Everly Brothers singles discography, you'll find that a good number of their Warner Brothers singles are not included in this collection, even several singles that hit the Billboard charts. However, many obscure b-sides, album tracks, and unreleased tracks are included instead. I can't understand the logic in that. I feel that an Everly Brothers Warner Brothers compilation should include ALL their charting singles from that label. Obscure B-sides and album tracks should have only been thrown in if there was still room. I think the producer may have chosen songs that he or she personally liked, instead of the songs that truly should have been included.
Lesser-known Everly Classics

Back in the 90's, when I was looking for a good "Best of..." Everlys collection on CD, I first bought the "Cadence Classics" CD. Later, though, I bought this 2-CD set to fill in the few Everly Brothers hits (at least, the ones I was aware of) that came after their move to Warner. Over the years, as much as I still love the "Cadence Classics", I've been a surprised to find that it's this collection of songs that is a little more my "go-to" choice when I'm feeling in the mood for some Everlys. I love the variety and growth that's displayed over the breadth of this generous collection. 50 Everly Brothers songs = lots of good stuff!
ONE NOTE: I noticed when sampling some of these songs on iTunes that the version of the Mel Tillis-penned "Stick With Me Baby" (which is one of my all-time favorites) is different from the one that appears on the CD set. I think this might be the version that appears as "Stick With Me Babey (#1)" on the "Price of Fame" import box set. It's an interesting take on the song, but loses much of the energy and pop that the finished version possesses.
