Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars NOT THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS........2006-03-17

First of all, these are not the original recordings. I have the original recordings of the Herman's Hermits songs, The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens, and Tobacco Road by the Nashville Teens. A side-by-side comparison clearly demonstrated to me that the songs on this compilation are NOT the originals.

Some of the tunes on this compilation are done well, for example, the tunes by The Association. But other songs are crusty sounding, murky, and coarse.

A little written message on the package states that the songs were done by the original artists. Perhaps they were. Perhaps they weren't. Perhaps they were done by one member of the original band 25 years after the original recording. What often makes a pop song successful is the producer and sound engineer. Thus, unless you have the original producer and sound engineers, it is unlikely that the remake will be able to capture the original essence, of what made the song a popular one.
