This review is from: Rock & Roll Party (Audio CD)

I was enticed by a wonderful playlist into buying this CD. At ONE CENT, it was OVERPRICED!

The front cover of the disc (not visible here) warns the unwary that all of these great old tunes are modern-day re-recordings. It seems all that was necessary in the minds of the producers to label these songs as done by the "original artists" was that a SINGLE original member of each group needed to be present.

Imagine "The Beatles" with ONLY Ringo there at the recording session, or the "Berlin Philharmonic" consisting of a roomful of hacks and the original triangle player-- that's about the size of what you get here.

Thirty years ago, K-Tel was a label you could trust. These days, it seems all you can trust them to do is ruin your fond memories of classic old Top 40 music. Thanks for nothing, guys! (By the way- I sent my copy of ROCK AND ROLL PARTY to the municipal landfill. May it rest in pieces.)
