I was thoroughly disappointed with this CD as most, if not all, of the tracks are NOT the ORIGINAL hit recordings. I try to read reviews, etc. to determine if CDs have the original recordings that made them hits but must have had a lapse in this case. In my book re-recordings, even by the original artists, just don't cut it, no matter how "good" they are.

All these tracks are re-recordings and NOT the originals. If you like the hits of 1970, and who doesn't - - pick-up Billboard's 1970 compilation or anything from the Time-Life collections. I also recommend the "Now and Then" soundtrack. Great stuff.

I was looking for the original of "I Just Can't Help Believing" by B.J. Thomas and found it on a 1995 release called "Best of B.J. Thomas" on the Laser Light label. Even iTunes didn't have the original.

Your typical complelation album, replete with the obligatory hits of the period. The selection of songs is acceptable, and does adequately reflect the period. If you were able to enjoy even a couple of these hits when they were initially released it may be worth the expense normally associated with such albums. If you are looking for something that has great substance and impact, look elsewhere. Listening to this album is just like turning on the AM radio, but without the advertisements or annoying DJ.
