There is no denying that Guy Mitchell's popularity was built on the many sing-a-along singles he released. It would however be wrong to overlook the recordings he cut in mind for his album releases as these often revealed a very different side to the singer. The albums below are those featuring unique or significant songs that did not make it to single release.
