Patsy Cline, Necromusica, and a Wikipedia Error

At some point, my partner received this Patsy Cline record as a gift:

We started listening to it, and immediately became confused. "Wait. When did Patsy Cline die?" I asked. 1963 - confirmed by the internet. She died at age 30 in a plane crash. Our confusion stemmed from the fact that there was NO WAY that the music we were hearing was from the 1960s or earlier. The copyright on the record said 1980, but records are re-released all the time, so that didn't feel like a real clue as to what was going on. Listen to the title track, "Always":

What year does it sound like this was recorded? From the first notes of the slide guitar, something seemed off to me. I hear synthesized strings, various other synthesized instruments, cheesy, whispery backing vocals. Even the way the drums are mic'd indicates that this was recorded way after 1963.

But how was this possible? We started looking for this album on the internet to figure out what was going on. Wikipedia held the answer. In 1980, record producer Owen Bradley took a bunch of Patsy Cline's master tapes and recorded new instrumental parts to use with her vocals on ten songs. Yes! This is yet another example of necromusica! Listen to the original context of her vocals from the song "Always," recorded in 1963:

That's 1963! Real, sweeping strings, vibraphone, differently-cheesy backup singers (a recording expert could explain this!) But there was more to this mystery. First, the Wikipedia article includes a picture of the album cover, which is not at all similar to the album that we were playing. I went searching for the image, and ended up finding it on Discogs:

It's a Wikipedia mistake! Tell your students! Tell your friends! This album, too, is called Always, but it's a UK reissue of a 1964 album that was called A Portrait of Patsy Cline in the US, and has a completely different track list than the 1980 Always. Whoever wrote the Wikipedia article included the wrong image. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. The track listing on Wikipedia is wrong, too, and I can't figure out for the life of me where this track list came from! There are various places on the internet that show those thirteen tracks in that order, but it's circular. I can't tell if Wikipedia is the source of the error, or is simply reprinting someone else's error. If anyone does know where is this is from, I'd love to hear about it. (But don't send to me an All Music or Amazon page that just lists those tracks. I suspect that these pages are erroneous. I want to see a picture of an actual album.)

Anyway, mystery (mostly) solved. I don't like this album. I have mixed opinions about necromusica in general, but I find this one to be in particularly bad taste. Looking back, we might have been able to predict what we were about to hear by simply looking at the album cover. An originally black and white photo has been made into bright, garish pop art. This technology has made over Patsy Cline into something that she wasn't. In contrast to some other post-mortem collaborations, Bradley doesn't seem to take Cline's aesthetic values into consideration at all. He is simply updating her for the 1980s, putting her into a more modern costume, without her consent.
