CD Reviews

A Real Collector's Item!
W. F. Schwentner | Woodbridge Virginia USA | 02/04/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is rated five stars only because of its historical content. The music is actually VERY bad!! The most interesting cut is "Only You", the original record issued on Federal before the group was signed by Mercury. The difference between the original and the final classic hit is amazing. The liner notes themselves are worth their weight in gold."
