The songs in this collection are all classics, but they're cheapened by being split into approximately 2-minute chunks each, slightly sped up and faded off at odd spaces. In addition, the audio is definitely not CD-quality- there noticeable clicks and scratches (as if some of the songs were recorded off a record) and tape hiss (as if the songs were recorded merely off a tape and slapped onto CD without any correction whatsoever, which they more than likely were). It makes it seem as if this was a bootlegged collection of random records and tapes burned onto CDs and put in pretty packaging. No information about the artists performing the composers' pieces are mentioned, either. Considering you could get all of these songs much cheaper at a garage sale (maybe 50 cents per album) at the same "quality," and less of a dubious legal background (listing actual performers rather than just composers, to boot), that may be a better idea. These world's "best-loved" melodies deserved better treatment than this collection.

If your the kind of person that like's this kind of music it is well worth buying especially when it only cost's you $[...] buck's. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. PERFECT MUSIC. AGAIN HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A search for Deep Purple's "Smoke on [in] the water," brought up this title. I rate it only #1 because I could not locate the "Smoke on the Water" listing. Amazon seems to be having an indexing problem.
