1.0 out of 5 stars There is a slice of Pie missing!!, October 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: American Pie & Other Hits (Audio CD)

I made the mistake of buying this CD without reading the reviews first. I know the songs of Don Mclean, but never suspected that the title song (American Pie) would be cut short on this album. Luckily, I contacted Amazon.com and they were kind enough to refund my money and pay for the shipping back to them. It is nice that Amazon.com stands by their customers!

I too, made the mistake of NOT reading the reviews before purchasing this CD - a mistake I will NEVER make again. Unlike the other customer who was lucky enough to be able to return it, I wasn't as lucky. I had to *open* the CD packaging to hear it! Please make sure you read the reviews before purchasing. Who would have thought "American Pie and Other Great Hits" would not carry the full version of its title song?

Whenever you are looking for a recording of American Pie, ALWAYS check the length of the song. There was a single version of the song released which only contained half the song (the other half was on the flip side of the 45). You obviously want the full 8 minute recording...this one DOES NOT have it!!!!
