I love George Strait, but this is a reissue of 2 old Cds

"Now, I would like to say that the "Love Collection" that the record company has so aptly called it, is nothing more than 2 CDs from George's late 80s and early 90s. When I opened up the CD, I found the old style of MCA reissued CDs, and looked at the title on Disc 1...yes, if you have seen it, you will notice they didn't even stamp "Disc 1" on the CD. Instead, the title reads: "If You Ain't Lovin', You Ain't Livin'" a 1988 release...and the 2nd Disc is George's 1990 Release "Livin' It Up".
I am a little hot under the collar on this one. I mean, don't get this review wrong as a bashing of an artist...this is just a warning to future buyers who may already have the other 2 CDs.
I just want to set the record STRAIT. I have EVERY George Strait CD, and here is the list copied and pasted right out of my CD Collection List:

"The only reason I gave it 5 stars was because it's George Strait, and I can't stand to see him get a bad rating. But these cds are just "If You Ain't Lovin You Ain't Livin" and "Livin It Up" with a different cd cover. Don't blame George for this, Universal did this, he's with MCA, he had nothing to do with this. If you want these cds, go get the originals, don't buy this, if you do, they will just keep reissuing different cds."
Misleading label

"This is nothing more than the Livin' It Up CD and the If You Ain't Lovin', You Ain't Livin' CD combined into a different package. Be careful....."
TOTAL RIP OFF

"The outside is very misleading. This is actually two older cds that were obviously laying around some warehouse that MCA repackaged. No remastering no nothing, just old cds. There are similar "Love collections" out recently with other country artists so buyers beware!!!"
