Description: Ronstadt's first major compilation album, released at the end of 1976 for the holiday shopping season. It includes material from both her Capitol Records and Asylum Records output, and goes back to 1967 for The Stone Poneys' hit "Different Drum." Another crossover success for Ronstadt - peaked at #6 on the main Billboard album chart and #2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, where it remained for over three years. The album was criticized by the Rolling Stone Record Guide for being "premature," as Ronstadt continued to have record-breaking mainstream successes for many years following this release. Certified 7x Platinum! Some great music and an amazing voice, both of which are very easy to listen to. Cat.#: Asylum Records – 6E-106- This version has "Manufactured by Columbia House Under License" printed on back cover. Clean, G+-VG copy of Var. 2 to the early Pitman pressing of the CHC release in gatefold jacket. A couple of light surface scratches - should not be impactful. Jacket has moderate wear (spine fully legible). Original inner sleeve went missing, so housed the LP in acid-free vinyl. Priced to sell. LABELSSide A Label: 6E-106-A (PRC-W)Side B Label: 6E-106-B (PRC-W) RUNOUTS- Although "PRC-W" is included on labels, side A run-out and press ring size indicate a Columbia, Pitman pressing.- Release date is established by mastering date included in side A run-out. Run-out side A; etched, var.2): 6E106 A-3 CP 2-2-79 TD CRC P Run-out side B; etched, var.2): 6E 106 B-3 CP 2 20 79 TD CRC A D(?) (Side B has a slight, undocumented variation here, as only "B P" is documented, and this runout surely looks like "A D" to these tired, old eyes...)
