Caveat Emptor (Let the Buyer Beware)

"I was VERY disappointed. All of the songs on this album are re-recordings - they are NOT ORIGINAL!! They are sung by Tommy Roe, but they are NOT the genuine, original recordings, and they just don't sound the same! I believe that Amazon should WARN people, in BOLD TYPE, if an album is made up of re-mixed or re-recorded songs or if songs are done by someone other than the original artists!! The only way to protect yourself is to read the description very carefully - to see if the songs are by the original artist, first of all - and then to listen to the music samples of the songs in the song list. IF the list of songs does NOT offer music samples (Windows Media Player, etc.) then BEWARE!! Somebody would rather not let you hear them before you buy! I'm going to be very careful in the future!
I feel like I was ripped off. But, for six dollars, it's not worth the shipping to send the disc back. I'll use it as a Frisbee."
