Terrible audio quality for a CD, June 27, 2007
This review is from: 18 Screamers From the 80's (Audio CD)
I bought this CD mainly because I wanted "Ah Leah", but didn't want to buy a whole Donnie Iris CD for it. The rest of the tracks seemed like OK picks.
Say what you will about my musical taste, but be warned that the sound quality on this disc is somewhere between AM and FM radio. I wonder if they just downloaded some random MP3s from dubious sources on the internet and made a CD with them. I can't believe anyone involved in putting this together got within 100 miles of the original master tapes. Listening to this actually made me long for a decent recording on cassette.
It looks like I'll be buying that Donnie Iris CD after all. Amazon can have this one back.

Good Song Selection - Audio Quality Lacking, June 1, 2006
This review is from: 18 Screamers From the 80's (Audio CD)
I bought this CD for one or two songs, which luckily have OK sound quality. The April Wine and Molly Hatchet offerings suffer from particularly bad audio. The only song I had a duplicate of to compare was 867-5309/Jenny and the quality on this CD was a notch below what I found on one of Rhino's compilations. But then again Rhino typically does an excellent job cleaning up these older masters. Track times below for those that care:

A Must Have for 80's lovers, September 9, 2002
This review is from: 18 Screamers From the 80's (Audio CD)
This album has a great mix of songs from the 80's, all by the original artists - from some of the lesser well-known but catchy tunes like "Ah! Leah!" to anthems of excess like "I Can't Drive 55"
