2.0 out of 5 stars Not Original Recordings!, November 30, 2000

If you want the originals buy the Capitol records Version. This is one of those disc's where the artist had to re-record the songs on his own label to avoid legal action. Very mis-leading. Johnny Rivers is a great artist with classic songs, but he must have got a raw deal on his song rights. Maybe we'll see his story on 'Behind The Music' some day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Songs aren't the Originals, February 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Johnny Rivers - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

You won't recognize some of the songs as they're not the originals. In fact it doesn't even sound like Johnny's regular back up musicians. Most are live and he's changed them in an interesting way, but it simply doesn't measure up. Note that the cover of this album is the same as another one that does have the originals, and I find that misleading.

Pass this one by... it may have the songs, but not the quality... done in a live and Re-mixed format it is a DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!
