These aren't the recordings you remember and they just doesn't have the punch. Very weak.

I was shocked to read the rave reviews that people gave this CD. I am a HUGE Sam & Dave fan and I have a few of their albums. This one is by far the worst. The recordings are awful and nothing like the recordings that were played on the radio. As soon as I played song one off of this CD, I knew I would be disappointed.These songs must have been recorded long after their primes because they sounded terrible. If you're looking for some good Sam & Dave stuff, check out the "Sam and Dave Anthology".

Disappointing! This is an import, and at least some of the songs appear to be re-recordings, probably by Sam & Dave, of Sam and Dave classics. "Hold on, I'm comin'" doesn't sound like the original recording, but may have been recorded live in a lounge.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not what I expected. The glowing reviews of the CD on the website (including the one talking about the 8 track tape in the Blues Brothers' car) are actually about "The Best of Sam & Dave", another CD entirely.

this is what true soul&grit is all about.hearing this dynamic duo is a real treat.they are more than Soul Man,cupid,i thank you,don't pull your love etc..they are what R-N-B used to be about.hearing those great Staxx records are must haves.
