"this 1990 CD re-release of Conway's PLATINUM 1978 album is missing some performances: five are missing. "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "There's a Honky Tonk Angel" {#1 hits in 1972 and 1974 respectively} should have been added to this re-issue but they weren't since they were on the original release on vinyl in 1978. the three other missing songs are his 1968 #5 hit "The Image of Me" and two of his 1976 re-recordings of his old pop hits "Lonely Blue Boy" and "Danny Boy". Even without the five songs, this 10-song collection is still a good sampling of Conway's classics from the '70s...his signature hits are here: "Hello Darlin"; "You've Never Been This Far Before"; "Linda On My Mind"; and his 1976 re-recording of "It's Only Make Believe" in which some have said is BETTER than the 1958 original! i like both versions. if you don't mind that the five songs i mentioned were cut off the CD re-issue, GET THIS! however, older fans like myself who have the vinyl and turntables will probably pass this CD by since it leaves off material."
