Rates ZERO STARS-You'll run SCREAMING after one listen!!!

"What I'd really like to know is just exactly WHO IS DREW-this guy that puts out so many terrible collections of various tunes that ARE NOT BY THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS???!!! I am sure many folks out there will agree with me. I peeked in on this series just to see the types of reviews written. For the most part, the majority of reviewers mentioned how really awful this series is-except for a small handful who actually had the audacity to mention that it's ok to purchase this stuff if you or your friends can't even tell the difference!!! Good God, if you can't tell the difference then you must really have a tin ear! FORGET THIS & THE REST OF THE DREW'S PARTY SERIES-if you are really into good music-stick with the original hits. You don't necessarily have to go out & buy an entire album with filler just for one or two particular big hits-if you do your research you'll find many great collections are available-not necessarily greatest hits packages either. Try those Billboard collections(various albums are listed year by year)or even the always great Only Rock & Roll(year to year)or Only Radio Hits, anything titled ONLY on the JCI/ESX label. Happy hunting!"

You're Better Off Making Your Own Party Tape

"At first glance this "Halloween Party" compilation CD seems to be everything you might want--but when the party starts and you drop this in your CD player, your friends will likely recognize it as an act of desperation. Not a single one of the cuts here are by the original artists, and to make matters worse most of them sound like Muzak gone bad.Even so, I'm giving this particular compilation two stars instead of one, for it includes a number of selections that WILL work if you (as I always do) are making your own party music tape or burning your own party music CD: themes from the films HALLOWEEN, PSYCHO, and THE EXORCIST and a really nice full organ rendition of Bach's "Tocatta en Fuge," as well as several fairly decent sound effects tracks that work well in the mix.Still, you can find these worthy selections elsewhere, and frankly if I had known this thing consisted of re-recorded songs by grade Z singers, I wouldn't have popped for the price. Yes, you really are better off looking through your own music collection first--or begging a friend with a good music collection to help you out--and if you absolutely must have this one, you'd do better to dig through the bargain bins than to pay full price.GFT, Amazon Reviewer"

Corny Music Perfect for a Halloween Party

Grinznmore | Kent, WA USA | 08/22/2006

"I thought the music was fine for a Halloween party. It's not meant for the music collector. The hokey rendentions play perfectly for a costume party. I marked it down because it should be more up-front that it is not the original performers."
