Story is the posthumous tribute to the greatest female country singer, the acclaimed Patsy Cline, who died in a plane crash in May 1963. This double album contains most of her best remembered tracks. At the time of her death few people in Britain had heard of her, but in the intervening years her stature has grown enormously. (US:74)

"The most haunting and lovely voice ever to come out of country music belonged to Patsy Cline, whose life was cut tragically short in 1963 by a plane crash. This collection captures Cline's spirit and breathtakingly beautiful voice."

"Patsy Cline is not your typical twang and twirl country gal. She had the most versatile voice in recorded music history. She could croon a country ballad, turn around and belt out a rockabilly tune, and then swoop a jazz song. In this collection, you get Patsy at her truest self. Its where she found her impeccable voice and put it with just the right material. Her records and voice are timeless." "Sheer enjoyment. A great talent captured here to be enjoyed over and over again. If only we could have comparable contemporary talent. The nuances and song interpretations are subtle, yet outstanding."

"If you can only buy one Patsy Cline album, this is it. All of her biggest hits are here, as well as a few of the minor (but no less important) ones. Patsy Cline was the best; this collection shows you why."

"I have never been a country and western fan, but I recently stumbled across this LP and was amazed at the clarity and fullness of Patsy Cline. She is a rare artist that transcends music genres. This Owen Bradley production surrounds her strong voice with lush instruments and horns, and lets you drown in the words and thoughts of many of country's best songwriters. This is an album you buy because you appreciate good music."
