EP = 45 rpm 7" record with two tracks on each side.
LP = Only released on LP.
RP = Released Posthumously.
All sessions (except April 24 and 25, 1957) were held in Nashville,
and the producer was Owen Bradley.
*
There is a special Everest version of "I Love You, Honey" that
begins with a guitar intro and has only a guitar solo in the
middle, while the Coral version begins with a fiddle solo,
and has both a fiddle solo and a guitar solo in the middle.
**
On the 4 CD collection from MCA, produced by The Country Music
Foundation, there is an alternate take of "Stop, Look and Listen",
previously unreleased.
+
These songs are available both with and without Patsy's overdubbed
harmony vocals. On most albums they are featured with harmony vocals,
but on the Vocalion album "Here's Patsy Cline" and the Decca album
"That's how a heartache begins" there are versions without the
harmony vocals.
So, counting the Everest version of "I Love You, Honey" and the
alternate take of "Stop, Look and Listen", plus those three songs
without harmony vocals, there are 107 different studio recordings
available on records, even though the official number of Patsy
Cline studio recordings is 102.
Note: There are also Kinescopes (a kind of video) showing Patsy
singing duets with Ferlin Huskey in "Let it snow, let it snow" and
Red Foley in "Winter wonderland", but those are not available to
the public. As far as I know, they are kept at the Country Music
Hall of Fame.
The original studio recordings missing from the 4 CD collection
from MCA are:
- Hidin' out (June 1, 1955)
- I cried all the way to the altar (Jan 5, 1956)
- Dear God (April 22, 1956)
- He will do for you (April 22, 1956)
- Fingerprints (April 24, 1957, New York session)
- A stranger in my arms (April 24, 1957, New York session)
- I don't wanta (May 23, 1957, remake)
- Ain't no wheels on this ship (May 23, 1957)
- Stop the world (Dec 13, 1957)
- Walking dream (Dec 13, 1957)
- Cry not for me (Dec 13, 1957)
- Come on in (Feb 13, 1958, remake)

The numbers in the "country" and "pop" columns represent the highest
position on the chart, A/B side.
Apparently Patsy's single "Cry not for me"/"Yes, I understand" made it
to the Cashbox Top 100 Country. "Cry not for me" made it to #59 in 1959.
Also, Cashbox lists "Crazy" as #1 Country in 1962.
A country only top ten chart existed for about seven months during 1963 in
Australia. It began on April 6, and disappeared on November 9. In the chart
for August 3, Patsy was at #2 with "Back in baby's arms"!
