Jim Reeves – The Jim Reeves Collection 2LP – RCA DPL 2-0126

Bring home an extraordinary double-album time capsule with The Jim Reeves Collection. Released posthumously in 1975 as a comprehensive deluxe retrospective by RCA Special Products (in conjunction with Tampa Records, catalog number DPL 2-0126), this essential 2-Record set elegantly preserves the legendary career of Country Music Hall of Fame member “Gentleman Jim” Reeves.

Known for his intimate, warm, and conversational vocal technique, Reeves dismantled the barrier between country instrumentation and traditional pop orchestrations, fundamentally reshaping American popular music. This sprawling 24-track collection features his historic, chart-topping international smashes like “He’ll Have To Go” and “Four Walls,” alongside signature smooth arrangements of “Welcome To My World,” “Distant Drums,” and his gorgeous interpretation of standard ballads like “Scarlet Ribbons.” Across four full analog sides, these 12-inch 33 RPM high-fidelity stereo vinyl pressings deliver a remarkably rich, warm listening experience that highlights the unparalleled depths of his smooth velvet tone.

Tracklist:

• Side A: Welcome To My World; One Dozen Roses; Anna Marie; Golden Memories & Silver Tears; Gypsy Feet; Scarlet Ribbons.

• Side B: Yonder Comes A Sucker; According To My Heart; Bimbo; Have I Told You Lately That I Love You; Mexican Joe; Am I Losing You.

• Side C: He’ll Have To Go; The Blizzard; I Fall To Pieces; Distant Drums; The Storm; Memories Are Made Of This.

• Side D: Make The World Go Away; Missing You; Roses Are Red; Four Walls; The Hawaiian Wedding Song; (How Can I Write On Paper) What I Feel In My Heart.

Housed in its original gatefold-style vintage cardboard sleeve, this beautifully curated double-disc masterpiece is an irreplaceable foundation stone for any serious classic country, mid-century pop vocal, or nostalgic vinyl archive.
