Unfortunately, these are re-recordings and NOT the origionals. The tracks on this CD are by the Platters but they were recently re-recorded. And while this is one vocal group whose voices have held up quite well over the years the keys of several of the songs had to be lowered to accommodate the singers aging vocal cords. The production quality of the tracks is nowhere near as good as the original classic recordings. And it seems the overall sound levels were recorded extremely low. Maybe in an effort to conceal the poor recording quality. Also avoid Forever Gold : The Platters UPC: 777966527529 (It's the exact same CD packaged differently, but same tracks). The Very Best of The Platters upc: 0731451031724 is the one to get!
