Stereo tracks are much livelier than the original version.

"Some Mills bros. fans feel that original songs' (from the 30's) sound quality is not up to par yet love the great harmony and so are willing to put up with it. This stereo disc from 1958 not only sounds great but the arrangements are more brilliant and there is a full rhythm section rather than just a guitar as with the original tracks. Now we need to push MCA to release the companion piece to this album called "The Great Hits Volume II" which features terrific versions of "Opus One" and "The Jones Boy" (also in stereo). I highly recommend this album especially for total novices to Mills Bros. music. You won't be disappointed, I assure you."
The best harmony ever!

"You really can't beat the Mills Brothers for harmony. They don't need much instrumental backup, but this disc has great arrangements where the instruments augment, rather than cover, the superb voices. They are like additional brothers. In the incomparable "Glow Worm," the brothers show why they sold a million records--a much greater accomplishment then than now."
