Patsy Cline’s ‘Greatest Hits’ Gets Modern Vinyl Upgrade To Celebrate Her 91st Birthday

September 8, 2023/by Lorie Hollabaugh

To celebrate what would have been Patsy Cline‘s 91st birthday today, MCA Nashville/UMe have announced they will release a vinyl update of her chart-busting, 10x Platinum-selling Greatest Hits album on Nov. 10.

Available to purchase exclusively at uDiscover Music, Sound of Vinyl and via UMG Nashville, this collector’s edition will be pressed on white vinyl and presented with newly-created contemporary pink cover art and packaging.

Greatest Hits was certified double-Platinum by the RIAA in 1989, making Cline the first female in country to sell more than two million albums. In 2001, Cline’s Greatest Hits was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for the album, which at the time, had stayed the most weeks on the U.S. Country Chart by a female artist—an incredible 722 weeks after it first entered. The record spent nearly five years at No. 1.

Originally released in 1967 by Decca Records, four years after her untimely death in a plane crash, Cline’s Greatest Hits is an encapsulation of her Top 10 hits between 1957 and 1963, featuring her first hit single, “Walkin’ After Midnight,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard country chart and hinted at Cline’s crossover appeal as it hit No. 12 on the pop chart in 1957. It also includes her first No. 1 hit, “I Fall To Pieces,” which also peaked at No. 12 on the pop chart and additionally was ranked by Billboard as the No. 2 song of 1961 in its year-end charts, and the crossover hit, “Crazy,” which peaked at No. 2 on the country chart and No. 9 on the pop chart in the fall of 1961. It also includes her third country-pop crossover hit, “She’s Got You,” which resulted in her second No. 1 country smash when released in January 1962.

The 12-track collection also boasts her hits “So Wrong,” “Strange,” “Why Can’t He Be You,” “Back In Baby’s Arms,” “You’re Stronger Than Me” and the posthumously released “Sweet Dreams (Of You),” “Faded Love” and “Leavin’ On Your Mind,” which all became Top 10 country hits after her passing.
