Most people who know me know that I am a huge fan of Ronnie Dove. Have been since I was a little 12 year old who was digging through his grandparent's records. It all started with this LP. I have since become friends with Ronnie himself, and full disclosure, he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and he still sounds incredible.

OK, a review of this album...
This LP contains all of Ronnie's Top 40 hits between 1964 and 1967. I will split this review into two sections: the good and the bad.

The good:

All songs are very well mastered.

This is the first place that "I'll Make All Your Dreams Come True" appeared in true stereo. All of the Diamond releases were either in mono or the dreaded fake stereo. And honestly, it sounds incredible in stereo. The CD reissue on Real Gone Music is sourced from this album.

This is also the first place "A Little Bit of Heaven" has also showed up in true stereo. Thankfully, a tape of the song has since surfaced and is used on CD reissues.

This is the first, and so far only, place that a live version of "Kiss Away" was released (even though the cover does not advertise it as being a live recording). It was recorded in 1970 at Roger Miller's King of the Road motel, which had a rooftop night club. It was recorded for a live album that was intended to be released on Certron Records. Given all the trouble the label had because of money issues (due 100% to Aubrey Mayhew and his money laundering) the album was never released. To date, only five songs from this album have surfaced.



The bad:
All LP copies were pressed on super cheap vinyl. Even brand new copies sound poor. Something also went wrong in the plating of the LP, so there is a constant crackle on all the songs. This is not present on the 8-track and cassette versions.

The cover artwork is very bland. I feel they could have done more, but, then again, it is a cheapo budget label.

To conclude, this is an excellent compilation to have if you are wanting to get into Ronnie Dove and his music. It is well mastered (albeit pressed on crap vinyl) and each song that was recorded in stereo is presented as such. Also worth owning for the rare live track. I know this album got me hooked on Ronnie Dove.
