1.0 out of 5 stars It pained me to even give it one star..., May 26, 2001

This review is from: Rick Nelson - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I highly recommend NOT wasting money on this CD. I am a huge Ricky Nelson fan and the Legacy set is a bit out of my price range; so I decided to purchase this CD. It has all of my favorite Ricky Nelson songs so what could possibly be wrong with it?? It's TERRIBLE!! These tracks are all re-recordings. Most of the time it doesn't sound like him and when it does, he sounds tired and bored. These tracks have no energy and none of the qualities that make me such a big fan. The front of the CD should say, in plain view, that this CD contains all re-recordings but that is not the case. It's written small on the bottom of the back, and was covered by a sticker placed on the back by the record company. Just a friendly warning that if you are looking for a great compliation with the originals, splurge on the Legacy set. That's just what I am going to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this, but..., August 6, 2001

This review is from: Rick Nelson - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I love this disc! The songs are terrific, and it has most of the songs you would want in such a compilation. I was surprised however that they are not the original recordings (and this is not disclosed in the description before you purchase). The songs were re-recorded by Rick in 1985 shortly before his untilmely passing. While it is great to hear him do his songs again (and they do sound close to the originals) I was expecting the original recordings. So, if you love Rick...buy this disc, but if you want the original sound...look for another.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not original recordings, May 19, 2003

This review is from: Ricky Nelson - Greatest Hits [Prism] (Audio CD)

This album is a collection of songs that were re-recorded by Ricky Nelson in the 1990s. The orignal recordings are better. I thought they were the originals so I was somewhat dissapointed.
