This review is from: #1 R&B Hits (Audio CD)

All packaging here, outer-box, 3 cd's and cases but just 10 tracks per, wasteful. Then there is the statement, 'New Stereo Recordings'. These tracks are very similar to watching and listening to a 'PBS' Oldies TV specials.

As is, you just have to enjoy the here and now and where these wonderful artists are now. Comparing 40 year old recording to these new efforts really isn't fair to the artist or you. Try not to judge and enjoy. Allot of these songs are down right good as there voices have definitely matured but this gives these RnB numbers more character.

The 60+ old 'The Miracles' (Smokey Robinson) singing 'Shop Around' may be out there (if these boys aren't done shopping yet, there isn't any hope for the rest of us). These are mainstream romantic soul tunes and I still have hope too. Mary Wells can still sing to me!

Enjoy...
