5.0 out of 5 stars Nice re-recordings
It's different from the originals - synthesizers instead of real horns, but I like it. Old School artists often do re-recordings because they don't necessarily get royalties from re-issues. Not sure if that's true for the Bar-Kays, but they should make money from this.

3.0 out of 5 stars WEAK SAUCE
At first, I thought that this CD was a good deal for the price and the tracks; however, the songs are not the "old skool" but recent recordings. Some of the cuts are not bad, but "Freekshow" does not make it. Do not buy this one if you seek the original jams. Still, if you would like another version of some classics, this might not be a bad buy...

1.0 out of 5 stars When I bought this, what was I thinking?, November 24, 2004

This review is from: The Bar-Kays - Greatest Hits [K-Tel] (Audio CD)
I bought this cd thinking I was getting a bargain, but was I wrong. My heart sank after 5 minutes of listening to it. These aren't even the original songs; they're re-recorded. I'd rather have the original songs even if I have to pay more. Cerified True sounds like it was sung by someone with a British accent; ugh! I came to my senses & bought the Best of the Barkays Volumes 1 & 2 released by Funk Essentials; the K-Tel cd is now collecting dust somewhere & I don't care if I never find it. Ladies & gentlemen, dont waste your money on this cd; get the originals instead!
