When an artist has 52 Top 10 songs during his career, it may happen that there isn't much info available even for a record that has two of those songs. Session information is in the web, though (thanks to Prague Frank).

As usual, Pierce was backed by the Nashville A-Team and the session was recorded in Owen Bradley's studio.

List price:  Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20
