"This CD is not the same as the vinyl pressing of the late 70's or early 80's that had essentially the same playlist. I was hoping to replace my lost vinyl press of this title. This recording is somewhat rawer than the original and, frankly, I preferred the earlier version. One track, 'Champagne (& Wine)', appears exactly as I remember it on the earlier recording. I will say that the cruder presentation here is interesting, but if you are purchasing this as a replacement of the earlier recording, I fear that you will be disappointed."

"Originally in Holland the album Shpritsz (exactly the same as this CD) was released in 1978. One year after this, Herman decided to jump to the USA, with this remixed album. This album did not contain some songs of the first released dutch album en they recorded a new version of Saturday Night. This CD is the same as the first dutch releas and is a 'state of the art' album, concerning rock & roll. Buy it and you won't be sorry!!"
Sweet chops and lyrics

"Have the album, decided to get the CD. The two are very similar but slightly different. Mostly in the intro's and some of the lyrics(not much). This CD stays very true to the album for sound and style. Great lyrics, jumpin piano riffs and excellent guitar chops."

"Without a doubt, this is the greatest album from a great rock n roll star. Herman's long and reasonably successful career is simply littered with great music, sung and played from the heart. 23 years later, Herman fufils his own prophesy - 'When I do my suicide for you, I hope you miss me too'. There will be no more music from Herman so buy what you can while it's available."
Delta rock & roll is alive on this CD!!

"This CD sounds like it has its influnces in the Delta of the southwest of America. Herman is a master of this raw soul sound and sound be making more records than he has!! Herman is a soul man."
