Note the fine print at the bottom of the cover - "New Stereo Recordings By The Origional Artists". Not a bad CD but distinctly different from the origional versions, especially if you are a discerning fan of origional 60's music. Once again, the Madacy label.

Avoid at all costs

"The first four songs are sourced from what sounds like a cassette that was left out in the rain for a week. Warbly, horrible sound quality. The rest of the songs are live remakes, that are perfectly good versions - but those first 4 songs are crucial to the bands' canon, and to have them virtually unlistenable is a sign of greed and opportunism. Best used as a coaster, but coasters are much cheaper."

"I didn't open mine to listen to it, but cover states that these are "new stereo recordings by the original artists". In other words, NOT the original versions that I was interested in. No indication of when these "new" recordings were made. Maybe they are good versions. I'm not going to take that chance."
