False advertising

"At first glance you'd think that this CD is of the very first Archies record which came out in 1968, simply entitled "The Archies". The title is the same. The price is extremely high and the seller claims it is a rare CD. There is also no image of this product so it keeps you wondering. There is also no way to contact the seller unless you actually buy the product. Yes, this could very well be that one rare Archies CD that collectors are looking for. Wrong!



Although the advertisement says "The Archies" this is NOT an Archies CD. There IS a difference between "The Archies" and "Los Archies"! "The Archies" is an American group headed by singer Ron Dante that acted as a "ghost group" behind the animated "Archies" on a Saturday morning cartoon. On the other hand, "Los Archies" is a Latin American singing group which is popular in various nations south of the border.



This CD is that of "Los Archies", the Latin American group.



The seller of this CD claims there is no difference because the word "los" means "the" in Spanish and he is not misleading the public when he advertises "Los Archies" as "The Archies".



He also claims it is the responsibility of the customer to match the UPN numbers to know which group was the one he is advertising.



These are pitiful excuses for this seller to justify false advertising. Customers do not shop by UPN number. They look at the singer's NAME, and yes, we ARE dealing with two very different singing groups. the words "los" and "the" are NOT the same in THIS case.



The seller sells this CD at a very high price claiming it is a "rare" CD. This is also a very false statement for this CD is definitely in abundance at a cheaper price.



Customers beware! If you want Ron Dante and the Archies, look elsewhere! Don't get misled by this pitiful excuse for a seller. If you want "Los Archies" you can get a CD of that group at a much cheaper price.
