Caveat Emptor -- Not Original Recordings

"Yes, it's cheap. But that's because the majority of the tracks are new recordings. They assure this it is by the "original artists", but goodness knows how many lineup changes have occured since the original recordings from decades past. According to the track listing, the only original recordings are "Surfin' Bird", Here Comes The Judge", "Splish Splash" (but by Sha Na Na--feh!), "Mule Skinner Blues", "Alley Oop", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport", "Short Shorts", "The Curly Shuffle", and "Beep Beep". The rest are new. They sound approximately like the originals, but I am not interested in "approximately".
If I'd known all this, I wouldn't have bought it."
Warning! Rip-Opp Zone

"Dissapointed? I sure am. I wish I could have listened to samples of these tracks before I wasted the money. Not one is original. "New Stereo Re-recordings by the Original Artists." What's that supposed to mean? Sounds like the old early 70's with the performing group named "Original Artists". RIP-OFF! Save your money."
