2.0 out of 5 stars On the low end of mediocre, May 15, 2004

The 20th Century Masters entry into the Irish Rovers' Greatest Hits menagerie is on the low end of both; weak by Irish Rovers' standards and one of the lesser efforts in Universal Music's Millennium Collection.

The mastering is fair, with no glaring problems, but the sound is a bit muddy and the bass track rather weak.

The up-side of this collection is that several songs can be hard to find, especially the Tom Paxton cult-classic "Wasn't That a Party?". The down side is that many are re-recordings. This isn't terribly noticeable on gentle tunes like "The Unicorn" but is both disappointing and annoying on the aforementioned lively drinking song "Wasn't That a Party?".

If all the buyer wants is to add an Irish Rovers collection to his or her musical library, this CD will do. If, however, one desires a bit more quality in sound and more adherence to the original music, pass this one by and look elsewhere.

I was looking for the The Irish Rovers Greatest Hits, and it is unavailable through your site. But I did find it in Canada. All the songs I was looking for are on one CD.
