1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing re-recordings, April 21, 2003
By 
malcolm franks (Solana Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rock 'N Roll Hits: 50's (Audio CD)
Only one track out of 21 is an original recording (Venus by Frankie Avalon) The rest are stereo re-recordings, made in many cases, years later. For those who remember the bite of the originals, most tracks are a disappointing facsimile.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why is this crap on the marketplace?, July 15, 2004
By 
M. Rogan "buzymom" (Northern Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock 'N Roll Hits: 50's (Audio CD)
Madacy is a cheapjack Canadian label notorious for putting out watered-down versions of Time-Life and Rhino collections, but they are all horrible re-recorded versions cut by the artists years later. This is no exception, as all but one song in this collection are re-recordings. And some, like "Stagger Lee", "Heartaches By the Number", sound NOTHING like the originals! And even worse: the lead singer on the Platters and Danny and the Juniors are NOT THE ORIGINAL LEAD SINGERS! BLECCHH!!
