Disappointing

"The CD's price seem to good to be true...and is. All songs except two (liar,liar and You Baby) are new recordings, not the originals. I wish a warning sign could used to warn buyers of this fact, since playing an audio link doesn't alway reveal this. Buyer beware."

Buyer beware, not original recordings

"Buyers beware of this apparent blockbuster collection of great hits. For all those who seek original recordings of such hits, should refrain from buying this. I truly wish amazon would explain to potential buyers , that these classics are new recordings."

DON'T BUY THIS - RE-RECORDED BY ORIGINAL ARTISTS!

"The real Paul Revere listened to track 2 and is rolling over in his grave as we speak!



Perhaps the artists want to relive their glory days or perhaps they don't have the rights to the original, so they re-record their 1-hit-wonder. Problem is that it is never ever -- i repeat, NEVER EVER AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL -- everyone else on this little blue marble knows it but they are oblivious!



One artist covering another's hits or a live album by an artist is a different matter, but please, please, for your sake and mine, do not encourage this bad behavior. Do NOT purchase this album. It is much wiser to buy Millenium Collections, Singers & Songwriters series, Have a Nice Day 70's series, anything by Rhino, anything by Razor & Tie, TimeLife Gold, Pure Funk/70's/80's, VH1-80's.



I'd give this a zero or a negative 10 if it were possible."
