"I must say that I was very disappointed with this album for one simple reason: it is almost entirely made up of re-recordings. The one exception is Good Timin' by Jimmy Jones. Normally I'm not so picky but some of these recordings sounded completely different to the originals! The whole point of me buying this album was to get these in original versions. If these could just have been cleaned up this would have been better than giving us totally new recordings that take the uniqueness away from them. Without the picture of the cover I could not tell that they were re-recordings. Now to be fair, the sound quality was excellent and for me personally the chosen collection was good because they included some songs that are harder to find than others of the same era. But I just don't like them modernised. If you don't mind, then it's a good buy. Otherwise, buyers beware if you like your versions original!"
