But for the absence of his duet "You're Just in Love" with Rosemary Clooney, this 25-song disc would be the perfect, definitive Guy Mitchell compilation, containing his first two Columbia hits and its follow-ups, his other recordings in the folk/novelty vein that was big then, as well as his late-'50s smashes "Singin' the Blues" and "Knee Deep in the Blues," going right to the end of Mitchell's career with the label. It is all mastered exceptionally well, and heavily annotated. ~ Bruce Eder
