"Well, if you really want to hear tepid, overly produced remakes of Duane Eddy's classic songs featuring (yech!) syrup laden new-agey synthesizers, then this is the CD for you. Otherwise, stick to the original recordings. Caveat Emptor!"
NOT THE ORIGINALS!!!

"GOOD SOUND..BUT THE SONGS ON THIS CD ARE RE-MAKES OF THE ORIGINAL HITS.NOT BAD...BUT I LIKE THE ORIGINAL . AT LEAST ADVERTISE THAT IT IS A RE-MAKE."
Deceptive marketing indeed!

"I have no grief with Duane Eddy wanting to remake old material; he could have many valid reasons for doing so. But Curb's presentation of this as D.E.'s "greatest hits" with absolutely NO MENTION on the packaging that these are not the originals is out and out [fake]. Buyers on Amazon will undoubtedly see through this ruse, but not casual buyers in a store. This strikes me as a deliberate and criminal attempt to defraud consumers.
The disc says "unauthorized duplication is a violation of the law". That's a bit ironic."
Warning, not original

"not bad for the price, but a long, long way from what is expected and what was original.Deceptive marketing, for nowhere on this case or disc is anything said about it being a remake, etc.It is disappointing that it is so hard to find an original Duane Eddy recording, and this makes it even more so.The music is ok, but it is not what you may think it is."
Fraudulent Marketing, lackluster re-recordings.

"LET THE BUYER BEWARE! Despite the packaging, these are tepid 1996 re-recordings of Eddy's hits. The casual buyer looking for a good, single CD "best of" of the original recordings should keep on looking."
