(Budget priced 4-CD box set) Eddy Arnold kept it simple and sold over 80 million records, not only to country audiences but across the board. After a hiatus during the late '50s rock 'n roll era, Arnold re-emerged as a contemporary big-seller in the '60s, but this 90 track set spotlights his younger, prime years, 1944-52, when he was rarely absent from U.S. radio play or the U.S. charts. A 32 page authoritatively annotated illustrated booklet with discography tells the story behind his crossover success.
