3.0 out of 5 stars Where are The Creek Bank Singers?, October 29, 2007

From the moment the CD arrived, I realized that something was askew. The only date on the album is 2003, and aside from copyright information about the songs, there's nothing in the CD booklet -- not even a list of the singers. The original LP had different cover art and a gatefold with the lyrics, cast list (The Creek Bank Singers, who were credited as such on the front cover) and photos.

When I put the CD in, it was instantly clear that the 25th anniversary edition is ABSOLUTELY NOT the original recording. The case vaguely boasts that it's "the same gang as before, but this time they are captured on newly re-recorded digital soundtracks." The songs and narration are the same, but it's like expecting to hear a beloved Beatles album and instead hearing a cover album by The Bootles -- it's the same, but it's not the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor completely new version, October 3, 2008

This CD is NOT the original recording. Instead of the folksy, acoustic original, this CD uses mostly synthesized instruments and highly studio-ized vocals and acting. Gone are Dottie Rambo and the real kids. Please re-release the original!!!! Don't bother buying this one.

You will love this album! Even after all these years it brings a smile to my face and one of the songs even brings a tear to my eye. I loved it as a kid and hope to pass it on to my own kids someday!
