"I PURCHASED THIS TITLE TRULY BELIEVING THE SONGS WOULD BE PERFORMED IN THEIR ORIGINAL VERSION. BOY WAS I SURPRISED. IT SOUNDS LIKE COVER BANDS FROM A HIGH SCHOOL DANCE. SOME DONT EVEN SOUND CLOSE. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THE PRICE IS SO LOW. I PLAYED IT HALFWAY THROUGH, REMOVED IT FROM THE CD PLAYER AND DID A BANK SHOT OFF THE WALL INTO THE TRASH CAN. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS ONE."

Not the original recordings

"I bought this CD in hope to listen to the original artist and original recordings of these songs. I was quite disappointed when I actually listened to the CD. These are not the original recording, rather new stereo recordings. The songs are mixed quite different from the origanl recording. So much so, I almost thought they were not the original artist. The Night Chicago Died is a poor mix of the original recording. Sooner or Later is also a bad mix of the original. I would not recommend this CD if you are looking for good quality original recordings. This is not the way I remember these classic songs."

"The first review hit the nail on the head. I didn't listen to him figuring that something would have been said if these were not the originals. The groups are treasures, these versions of the songs are not. I was just looking for Reflections of My Life, thought the other selections looked pretty good so I bought this cd. If you only want that selection lucky for you, that one is not totally bad, the rest are. They are apparently outtakes and it is evident they are practice, looking for the right feel, not finding it yet. Evidently they did which is why the cd was made, unfortunately the originals were not used, if these were the final product the songs would never have been released."
