I purchased an Alan Dale CD not currently listed in the database called Sweet and Gentle Crooner released on Collectors' Choice. Although Collectors' Choice is usually a highly reputable and reliable label, I want to warn anyone interested in obtaining the original hit versions of Alan Dale's Top 40 singles on CD to avoid picking up this disc because it consists of stereo re-recordings that are clearly mastered from scratchy vinyl sources. Here's a summary of the two Top 40 hits appearing on this CD:

1955 - CHERRY PINK (AND APPLE BLOSSOM WHITE)
(S) (1:41) Collectors' Choice 305 Sweet and Gentle Crooner (rerecording; mastered from noisy vinyl)

1955 - SWEET AND GENTLE
(S) (1:35) Collectors' Choice 305 Sweet and Gentle Crooner (rerecording; mastered from noisy vinyl)

Pat, you might want to incorporate this info into the database to make other subscribers aware of this CD.
