CD Reviews

The originals were better
Bill Smythe | Chicago | 09/12/2000
(2 out of 5 stars)

"This CD, also titled 60th Anniversary Greatest Hits, should not be confused with a Sony/Columbia release, Frankie Yankovic and His Yanks' Greatest Hits. The current CD was not recorded on the 60th anniversary of anything. It is simply snitches and snatches of material originally released on vinyl in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. At least eight LPs from Columbia, and two from RCA, are represented. The six oldest tracks (3,4,5,7,15,19) are monophonic, except for some recently added reverb. A couple of others, including the mislabeled Ohio Polka (it's really Cherry Polka) are also mono, even though they came from an LP originally available in stereo. The quality of most of the tracks is poor. Compared to the originals, or to most any other CD, you'll have to crank up both the volume and the bass to get a decent sound. There are much better CDs by this artist, notably Songs of the Polka King Volumes 1 and 2."
