What the cover doesn't tell you is that for the most part these are not the original Everlys hits, but a new recording session from the 60s. While some people may prefer these versions because they are stereo, I remain a devotee of the original versions, and was very disappointed when I first put this CD on. That said, having listened to it a couple of times since, the versions really are pretty good, with fine harmonizing and guitar playing. Still, for a one disc compilation, I recommend the 16 Original Hits.
