3.0 out of 5 stars Originals, But Too Many Are Missing, February 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Golden Hits (Audio CD)

I'm an oldies DJ in New England, and I'd like to correct a misimpression offered by the sole reviewer posted here (2/25/04). The tracks on this CD are indeed original recordings--not recuts. You do need to watch out for recuts with the Platters--but not here. Problem is, though it does contain all the biggest Platters' hits, virtually all the lesser hits--those that peaked lower than #12 on the Billboard charts--are omitted in favor of some odd selections. You may be interested in hearing the Platters' rendition of "Sixteen Tons" (I wasn't), but where's 1959's "Enchanted?" Some lovely non-top-10 hits are sacrificed, and some pretty iffy material included. A better, more complete collection can be found elsewhere. But if you're looking for original recordings of the group's very biggest hits, this CD is perfectly adequate.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, January 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Golden Hits (Audio CD)

This CD is not what I expected. I admit I am a novice at purchasing CDs over the internet, but I didn't realize that this was a remake and never would have bought it if I had known. The packaging and information was misleading. It definitely does not have the great sounds of the original Platters.
