Customer Reviews:
Not Originals.......2002-05-17
If you are looking for the original recordings that were played
on pop radio, this is not the CD for you. While not deceptive,(K-Tel does say on liner notes that some recordings are new, stereo recordings)some are billed as originals when they are not. Some recordings are longer than the original 45RPM recordings. Companies should be more forthright in their advertising by
stating that "This is not the original 45RPM recording". If
you are after the originals---BEWARE! You are wasting your money.
I expected a compilation, not re-recordings.......2000-08-08
Seven of the ten songs on this CD are "new stereo recordings." Even when done by the original artists, they're not as good as the original recordings. Among the three "original" songs is "Splish Splash" by Sha Na Na (?!) instead of Bobby Darin. All in all, a disappointment.
Dumb Ditties.......1999-10-18
About 70% of the songs on here are re-recordings by the original artists. Cool that they're the original artists, not cool that they're re-recorded. For example, Lil Red Riding Hood is kept close to the original... but it just doesn't sound right in hi fidelity and modern mixing equipment.
