Avoid this one like the plague

"I am a BIG fan of Mr. Paycheck, and his 'Greatest Hits' truely are great. This particular CD is one of those where they get the artist (usually country) to go back and re-record their songs, long after they can hit all the right notes. Even the cover of the CD is cheap: A b/w pic of Johnny colored "Ted Turner" style so bad he looks as if he's wearing blush.
Go get his 16 Biggest Hits here instead...."

Not The Original Recordings

"I don't care what "Jill" (up above) says, this CD contains one re-recorded song after another. To be quite frank, it's absolutely horrible, with Paycheck sounding as though he's on his last legs and singing the songs directly from the from the front lobby of a local nursing home -- for the drunken homeless. Don't buy this CD. I sure wish I hadn't. Let it die the quiet death it so richly deserves. Meanwhile, buy the "SUPERHITS" album instead, where you'll find the original recordings, just the way you remember them."
