Be wary with Platters "hits" albums. This is a group that did remakes of their rerecordings. (Was unable to determine if these are the original records or not.)

Excellent selection of old style doo-wop music. I say bring it back any day as compared to the stuff that's put out these day. I received superior service from this seller. thanks!

...not the Dutch version disparaged in another review. Check inside...

It's not them and not even their faded copy, where is Tony and all the rest of the group? The cover shows the real Platters but the singing absolutely not.
Forget it!!! Go to the "Universal Master Collection" you will love it.

Dutch label TEE-VEE presents 20 shrill, somewhat dissonant and definitely inferior re-recordings by at least SOME of the Platters. These performances are lousy-- forget this one!
