This album, compiled by Starday, contained many of former Mercury-Starday recordings, many previously unissued. The lead track, "Window Up Above" was recorded by Johnny Paycheck or "Donny Young." Though the album did not chart, it is noteworthy for containing many of formerly unheard of Jones songs.

Background

During the 1960s, Starday Records (now completely absorbed by Mercury) began repackaging multiple unissued songs onto 12-track LP's, that would also include some hits. This album, The Fabulous Country Music Sound, was the first of these LP's, and was produced by former Starday president, Don Pierce.
