"As a big fan of 60's music, this boxed set by"The Original Artists" looked too good to miss. The CD's however are labelled "To obtain the highest possible quality, these tracks have been re-recorded by the original atrists or members of the original groups". What this means in practice is that the tracks sound nothing like the originals that we know and love. I shall be returning mine as soon as I finish this review."

"I was a couple of clicks away from ordering this set before I read the previous review. I cannot accept re-recording; but I can accept re-mastering. I want the real music."

"Besides being a skimpy amount of music per CD, average of around 30-35 minutes, these aren't always the original artists. For instance, Berry Gordy wrote "Do You Love Me" and The Contours, a Motown group, recorded it first, not the Brian Poole & The Tremeloes."
