1.0 out of 5 stars Ripoff, October 16, 2003

Sorry, but a lot of reviewers call this a definate collection. Nope.

All of these songs are remakes done for Reprise Records in the 1990's. Remember, Freddy recorded for MCA in the 1970's when he had his biggest hits.

Be very careful when buying Freddy Fender cd's. He re-recorded his hits many, many times.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the original recordings., May 19, 2002

Ripoff to call this "The Freddy Fender Collection" -- this is a 1991 session re-recording his greatest hits with a professional but passionless studio band. All very cautiouly recorded. Lacks the emotion and the fine instrumental work that his originals have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this one, April 3, 2003

The sound is great, very clear. The songs sound extremely close to the ones I remember hearing on the radio growing up. I bought 3 Freddy Fender cd's and this one blows away the other two. I'm very pleased with it. Exactly what I wanted and expected. Thank you.
