2.0 out of 5 stars Remade Hits, March 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Roger Whittaker - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This is one of the few drawbacks of buying online. If I had been able to pick up this cd and turn it over, I would be able to read that almost all of these songs were not original recordings, but remakes. I figured they were "Roger Whitaker- Greatest Hits", not "Roger Whitaker-Greatest Hits Inexplicably Re-recorded".

2.0 out of 5 stars Too little - Too late, October 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Roger Whittaker - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Sadly - this cd is a bad deal. labeled as "greatest hits" - the cd contains only 11 tracks - it is low in quantity (total playing time: 39:18) and in quality. the cd doesn't include whittaker's phenomenal original recordings made in the early 70'ies - but poor re-recordings: the major hits like "durham town" and "the last farewell" are re-recordings from 1986 and simply cant be compared with the original recordings. the only reason i gave the album 2 stars and not 1 is for the featured song "river lady" - which is an original recording from 1961 and is just a great recording - featuring whittaker's rich and full voice from that time.

I ordered this CD specially for "The Last Farewell" - a favorite of my husband and I for many years. How disappointing that the beginning is garbled beyond being able to understand the words...
