| I just noticed this album consists of rerecordings |
When I posted "Cross Over the Bridge" a couple of weeks ago (see my post for 3-Dec-2016) I hadn't noticed that "Greatest Hits" album was rerecordings. I generally have disliked rerecorded versions, they rarely live up to the original recording.
Usually, I pickup that a recording is not the original right off the bat, but I listened to this album and didn't realize any track was not the original. And after listening to the original 1951 version of this song, I like the rerecorded version better.
Note: the "1951 45 RPM" video shows the 45 RPM single label, however the audio source was a CD.

YouTube (1966 rerecording): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-YMTFRLbCk
Another note: in the comments for the "1966 rerecording" somebody mentioned it was made in the 1980's, however on Wikipedia it is listed as 1966:

I tend to believe the 1966 date because records made after 1971 had to have a year printed with the copyright for it to be valid.
