I have been an Osmond fan for over 30 years. I have always loved the original versions of the songs on this cd. I bought it thinking that was what I was getting. These are newly recorded versions by the original artists. Why doesn't the cover of the cd state this? They do little to capture the quality of the original songs. I LOVE the Osmonds and always will. Mr. Curb has disapointed us all with this one. I recommend "Osmond Mania" Instead.

It's good to see these Greatest hits packages and the release of The Osmonds Country CD...but they had a lot of other great music out...One of the best things they did was there live around the world album... It not only features all of the brothers but also Marie as well. So Mr. Mike Curb instead of having your artists do a bunch of remakes how about releasing some of the originals for us True Osmond Fans.

i found this cd the best of remakes by the orginal group.. They sound much better and mature.. with a more intense feel.. the the music was more crisp and you understand every word they sang.. this cd is best by for to in joy buy every fan and and new fans alike.. i would buy this cd all the time i am over serving in the army and i love this cd.. we got people here listening to this cd and liking it and not believing who they are.. so i show them the cd to show it is the osmond brothers with twist.. sounding so good..... Yes go out and buy you will enjoy it i should know i have been a fan for over 40 yrs.....

I was very disappointed that these were not the original recordings, as it is not identified on the CD that these are remakes. Donny's voice is noticably absent from 'One Bad Apple' (although he couldn't now possibly hit the high notes of his pre-pubescent years anyway, the bland non-Osmond chorus refrain that was inserted sounded quite fake). I doubt Donny Osmond was even involved with this project as a matter of fact. I find it interesting the complete lack of credits, liner notes, etc. other than the notation of Mike Curb.

good grief charlie brown, when will someone re-release our favorite Osmond albums on cd. phase lll, and crazy horses ????
so many re-issues of the same old top 40 hits, certainly there is a market for those unheard songs included on these 2 yet unavailable albums. i mean, if they can re-issue the partridge family albums and for pete's sake some fool named p-diddy actually makes cd's certainly something this worthy deserves released.

As an Osmond fan since the 70's there's liitle they do that dissappoints me. However, this best of CD of mostly re-recorded versions of their old hits did have me wondering just what the point was. With no detail on the CD inserts you can't tell who plays or sings on the album except to know that Donny is missing and some classics seem to have been slowed down (probably an age thing). "I got you" is rubbish and should have been left off or swapped for "Let me in" from the gospel album.
The other 2 country tunes are a good listen as is Yo-Yo and hold her tight. In the end this is a reasonable cd for fans only. The guys should record something new and Curb should release cd versions of all the old ablums.

This CD is excellent. I am not sure when it was recorded, but it is the modern day Osmond Brothers singing their old hits and doing a darn good job of it... A little cheesy for Mike Curb to stick in an old recording (song) off their 80's country album, etc... The music is up to date. It's a must have for Osmond fans! -Mrs. Kris Brunkhorst (Osmond Fan for over 33 years!)

Not a very good selection of songs but inexplicably some songs that never appear anywhere else are on this album. (I can't think where two of these songs come from and a I have a LARGE Osmond collection.

This is an honest review where yes, this album is the hits rerecorded by the Osmonds. This is how you would hear them if you saw them in person, and enjoy them differently. Those of you who are looking for the original recordings, they are available and say all original recordings. There is need no need to put down Mike Curb for releasing a product for fans that they may enjoy. I, as a lifelong Osmond fan, enjoy these new recordings, and listen with an open mind. Simply, you will either like it or not. Thank You Osmond for keeping this music fresh. Enjoy and Stay 2nd :-)

This is the worst thing record companies do and that is rerecord the songs vy the original artist and i cant believe in this day and age Amazon does not require the sellers of these type of cd,s to list it as A remake.save your money and but the real collections.By the way I,am shocked at Curb records they usually do the original.Shame on you Curb records and shame on you Amazon.
