"These tracks are NOT by the original artists. These CDs were made in Portugal. The company most likely got a bunch of no-names to cover the songs. There are no actual names of the people who covered these songs. The covers aren't even better than what high-school bands would sound if they attempted these songs. The CDs named the original artists to con potential buyers. I wish I could give these CDs zero stars for trying to rip-off buyers."

CD is a redo by one or more artists in the group not the ori

"Well save your money this is one of those cd compilations that has been deone by one or more of the groups arists.To the un proven ear you might be fooled but side by side with the originals you can hear the difference,Save your money and buy the originals in other collections here on Amazon.It is very unfair that there is no mention of this to buyers before they spend there money on junk like this."

MOST appear to be the originals but...

"...other negative reviewers are onto something..."Denise" by Randy and the Rainbows is obviously not Randy or any of his Rainbows since frontman Randy sang in a falsetto and this fake Randy doesn't...but others like "Green Tambourine" and "Let it all Hang Out" and of course, Tiny Tim's contribution are definitely the original originals...to borrow a line from "Spinal Tap". Caveat emptor I guess which is too bad because it's a nice selection."
