Notes

Mercury Records - 1963.
Black Labels - Silver Printing.

"The Original Golden Hits Series was billed as "Mercury's Golden Dozen Hit Albums." It was undoubtedly issued in response to the best selling oldies series of the time from Original Sound Records (Oldies But Goodies) and Roulette Records (Golden Goodies).

The two "Original Golden Hits" albums released in 1963 were Original Golden Hits of the Great Groups [Mercury MG 20809/SR 60809] and Original Golden Hits of the Great Blues Singers [Mercury MG 20826/SR 60826.

The original 1963 albums had been nominally issued in stereo, but were all rechanneled."
