The worst CD I've Ever Purchased

"A powerful statement, but I'm totally dissatisfied with this CD. I looked forward to hearing the Associations' hits and instead suffered thru terrible remakes of their songs. I'm not sure how the company gets away with marketing this CD as a compilation of their hits, but I consider it a rip-off. Don't buy this CD!"

Re-recordings.

"An album of re-recordings (originally released as "Vintage" back in the 80s). This isn't a problem in and of itself, but of course it masquerades as a "real" hits compilation, which causes it to sink to the level of all of those dishonest K-Tel compilations from times-past. For collector's only, really, although it isn't *that* bad, and at least contains mostly original members."

VINTAGE Revisited

"This is a re-release of the Association,s 1983 "Vintage" album with six of the seven present (for obvious reasons, Brian Cole was not present). This is a decent re-make of some of the groups popular hits with tight harmonies on other 70's hits. I personally preferred "You're In My Heart" and "Do That To Me One More Time". Although I did not care for the updated version of "Windy", even that came to be listenable with time. However,when the album was released they mislabeled "Goodbye Columbus" as "It'a Lucky Day" (a pretty shabby mistake). All in all, a passable collection."
