Everybody Has Been Burned Before

"Remake Alert: Here's another collection of hit songs which is mostly remakes. It's the old "Original Artists" ploy: the artists who made the original recordings are enticed into doing new recordings and the results are labeled a "Greatest Hits" collection. Of the 30 tracks on 3 CDs 24 are remakes, so noted on the back of the CD.



I can't comment on the quality of the production, because I didn't bother to listen past part of one track.



I bought this because the label, Platinum Disc, has packaged other greatest hits collections which feature the original recordings, as evidenced by the various labels and copyright dates noted on those CDs. In this case, however, they went the lazy route and I got burned.



Don't let it happen to you."

Burned... not even the same tempo as the originals...

"Burned, be careful the same package is available with one less disc but identical discs 1 & 2."

"I FORGOT to read the 1st review on this 3 CD set. They are Totally correct. CD cover says Original Artists but, 90% are remakes. DON'T WASTE your postage on this one. I might save the jewel cases but, the CD's are going in the TRASH! YEAH, I GOT BURNED, TOO !"
