1.0 out of 5 stars Very Few Originals, March 23, 2001

By 

Jack Sapunor (Gold River, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Box of Funny Wacky Favorites (Audio CD)

This set looks like a great bargain but beware...most of the songs are not the original versions that you know and love. If you just want the songs in any form, go ahead but if you must have the original recordings, look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Most songs are not the original recordings, December 30, 2000

This review is from: Box of Funny Wacky Favorites (Audio CD)

I somehow assumed that these would all be the original recordings, since Amazon offers no information to the contrary. When I received the 3-disc set, I noticed fine print explaining that most of the 36 cuts were "new stereo recordings"--which, even if they got the original artists to perform them, are just not going to be the same. Only 13 of the songs are listed as the real thing: The Birds and the Bees, Mister Livingston, Mule Skinner Blues, Stiki De Boom Boom, Ya Ya, The Oogum Boogum Song, Mr. Custer, Georgie Porgie, Nee Nee Na Na Nu Nu, Yummy Yummy Yummy, Baby Talk, Dede Dinah, and Alley Oop. If that's worth $9.97 to you, then you'll have no complaints.

2.0 out of 5 stars SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE IMITATION TO ME, January 12, 2001

Nice CD and sounds great. However, I just can't believe that the songs are original, at least it don't sound that way, or in other words. Sounds Very Much Like Imitation To Me!!!
