A true bargain!

Barbara Mandrell was my favourate female C&W singer in the late 70's
and saw her shows a few times. She was incredible; not only did she
sing wonderfully but she also played almost every musical instrument!
On this CD you'll find all her TOP 10 songs including all her number
ones! All this for 2,98 unbelievable. We're talking about original
recordings. Any country music lover should buy this.

Best of Barbara Mandrell

Reviewed by Eddie Herring, 2009-07-03

This compilation of Barbara's "Best of" has most of her better known hits. The version of "I Was Country when Country Wasn't Cool" is the one with George Jones coming in, and her version of "Wish You Were Here" is one of my all time favorites. While I enjoyed the songs, this is apparently a CD that was originally released in the UK, according to the credits. I mention that because the "sound" quality, while okay, is not what I have heard on many of the US released CD's to which I'm accustomed. The sheet liner is somewhat dated as well. It provides a biographic summary of Barbara's career but ends saying she was still touring, working the country circuit, and also in "cabaret." Barbara retired a number of years ago so it's obviously an older release. But I'm still glad I bought it and if you're a Barbara Mandrell fan, and if you can get it at a good price, buy it.

This CD was first released in 1979 on LP, and 8 track. Then came Cassette and finally CD. I have it in all formats. Most fans will have this if they collect everything Barbara! Some reviews mention "wish you were here" being on this CD. That song came out in 1981 long before this best of was released. To those people I say check your song tracks. It's a good CD with the high light of Barbara's late 70's career!

Great Mandrell Songs - Missing on Other Collections

Reviewed by Edward G. Kemmerling, 2006-11-04

"Wish You Were Here" is one of my all time favorites by Barbara Mandrell. For some reason (probably legal issues) it has not been available on any of the Mandrell "Best Of" recordings. Finally, it (and many other cuts that have not been available) is on this CD. A great collection.
