"I knew it was too good to be true... I didn't realize it when I ordered this CD, but theseare NOT the original recordings. In tiny letters on the back of the CDit says "the tracks featured have been re-recorded by the original artist." Don't be fooled and don't make the same mistake I did (unless you like inferior recordings). You're much better off getting the more expensive but much much better Rhino set "Twang Thang: The Duane Eddy Anthology."NB: This is in no way a slight on Mr. Eddy who is an amazing guitarist and one of the truly important figures in rock and roll."
Not the original recordings!

"The CD is titled "18 Greatest Hits" but they're not the original recordings. They're re-done and they are HORRIBLE. Nothing against the genius of Duane Eddy, but if a giant evil eyeball comes from outer space and destroys all of his recordings except this one, DON'T BUY IT!!!"
Not original but REDONE FOR DANCE.

"Don't listen to those other (so-called) reviewers, definitely there not very OBJECTIVE.
This album set of Duane's is quite good. He re-mastered this
set with consistent beats for DANCE (hence the title).
We know how rousing Rebel Rouser is, this re-version is calmly subdued and still enjoyable. Imagine yourself in your rocker, in a retirement home, with all your friends listening to the original version. Uhh-HUH, this remake will fit that ambiance perfectly as well as basement or backyard parties. Neighbors won't complain, this album might entice them to join.
All the other tunes are redone in the same way, definitely worth the investment."
