Tom Jones
Gold
is a two-disc, 42-track set that does an admirable job of mixing all his major hits recorded between 1965 and 1975 for the American
Parrot
label with well-chosen album tracks and B-sides. Interestingly, the U.K.
Deram
versions of
Jones
' singles and albums would occasionally differ slightly from the U.S. releases. All eight of those tracks are wisely included on
along with remastered favorites like
"Delilah,"
"She's a Lady,"
"What's New Pussycat?"
"Green, Green Grass of Home,"
"I (Who Have Nothing)"
and
"Help Yourself."
Recommended for those who want to go a step beyond the average greatest-hits package. ~ Al Campbell
