They aren't bad, just not the original versions of these songs

Track list:
1) This Diamond Ring
2) Count Me In
3) Save Your Heart For Me
4) Everybody Loves a Clown
5) She's Just My Style
6) Sure Gonna Miss Her
7) Green Grass
8) My Heart's Symphony
9) Paint Me a Picture
10) Sealed With a Kiss

These are re-recordings by the group. While they are re-makes, they aren't bad, just not the original versions of these songs. For the most part the arrangements are the same. Only on occasion does the instrumental break veer off from the one you expect from the original version and you might notice a synthesizer in place of the strings or horns. Gary's voice sounds a bit fuller and less reedy on these, which is a slight improvement.

As long as you know these aren't the original recordings, you won't be that disappointed.
