A good sample of her re-recorded hits

"So far this is my favorite budget collection of the Owen Bradley re-recordings she did of her hits around 1996 (this is mentioned in her autobiography) Since she owns these recordings she can lisence them to any label and there seem to be a lot of collections floating around containing these newer recordings. I think the quality of these redone songs are great and I am happy to have these. Just long as the consumer is aware that they are not getting the original hits. This is a good cd if you want a casual overview of some of her biggest hits. Of course there is a lot missing, but this is a cheap way to start.
p.s the cd "Sings Her Greatest Hits" is also a good one, 20 songs over two discs (could have fit in one) but same price."
An amazing voice ,as she sounds today.

"i have this c.d. but for the exception of, mine says 'the hit collection 18 tracks',label is twin pack music 2004. i love this c.d. ,it is brenda with a voice that only gets more polished with time. two songs on twin pack, not on version shown,'dynamite', and 'big for poster bed'. i would hope no one would be disappointed with this c.d.,as it says on this version, as well as mine, right on the front, and is very easy to see,'new sterro recordings', and brenda is shown in a recent picture, which is a tip. the strengh and polish of her voice here is GREAT, you would not know these songs were recorded when she turned 60! a treasure to have, i have loved Brenda's music for many years, this is like a brenda concert,today!"
NOT re-mastered originals

"I bought this thinking that these WERE the ORIGINAL recordings of my favorite Brenda Lee's songs. After the first song, I realized that these were recorded when she was older, and not the spunky little numbers I was used to....she sings them well, but they show a little bit of aging in her voice, although she still does sing a great tune. I LOVE the songs, but her voice has some years in it. She's still Little Miss Dynamite!!"
