1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Pretender (Audio CD)

This CD is as bad as any I've had the misfortune to buy. It's a great ad for try before you buy! The songs don't really sound at all like the original hit recordings. I can't recommend this to anyone who really loved the hit versions but maybe someone without any fond memories of The Platters could enjoy this CD. An example of poor attention to quality can be found at the end of track 2 (Only You): there's a stray note left in (after the fade out).

4.0 out of 5 stars The Great Pretender (Prime Cuts) The Platters, November 18, 2003

I listened to a sample of the songs but was a trifle disappointed
that it was not the original version of the Platters singing. Did the solo voice belong to a different singer? I just love all of their songs and my heart is set on this particular CD.

This is another CD by a fake group. They are just terrible. They can't even sing the songs with the proper melody.
