Looks like a great compilation for beginners.

One Amazon review also praises the mastering.

Hmmm?

To buy or not to buy. That is the question....

[daviddesper]

Not much doubt here! This one might sell two copies in my household! Oh and did I say "Keep 'em coming?"

This looks like the same content as the last 20 years of Dusty compilations. Is "Baby Blue" available on any Dusty CD or digital issue?

As I was comparing prices for this new release, I came upon another 3 CD set with 60 tracks for about $5.00 less. Not to cause any problems for this release, but wouldn't that earlier one be the better buy?

Yes it would be the better choice provided that it's from UMC and has all the correct versions of Dusty's best work.
