I like it when they make these mistakes in releasing the incorrect versions. At last we get to hear alternate versions of some of Jims familiar recordings. I mean, it isn't that RCA Victor(or whatever they are called these days) would ever let us hear these by choice, would they? I only wish they would let us have a whole CD's worth of outtakes/ alternative versions!!

: Probably for a mistake, The version of
: "According to my heart" on the
: double anthology cd "The Essential Jim
: Reeves"(Sony-Bmg 2006), (originally
: released in 2003 under the title "Jim
: Reeves - Anthology") is not the 1956
: hit version
: (as indicated in the booklet) but the
: rejected slow version from December 1955
: session who appear for the first time
: (in Europe) in 1989 in the now deleted Bear
: Family 4 cd box set "Gentleman Jim,
: 1955-1959"(originally intended as
: the first of a series of separate Bear box
: sets with chronologically treatment of all
: Jim's discography, but, instead,
: Bear Family in 1994 prefer to issue the 16
: cd box set "Welcome to my world"
: with all Jim's studio recordings
: on one massive box set).
: If the double anthology cd "The
: Essential Jim Reeves" contain the wrong
: version of "According to my
: heart",
: the Bear 16 cd box set contain a wrong
: version of " Losing your love"
: (1961) (probably a outake from the same
: session) : on the Bear box the line "I
: forgot to kiss you and hold to your charms,
: success seems like nothing
: to these empty arms" (around min.
: 1:23) is sung more slowly and less linear
: rather than the hit version who appear
: on the double anthology cd "The
: Essential Jim Reeves".
:
: Yours sincerely to all Jim's fans all around
: the world.
