5.0 out of 5 stars
The posters here tell the truth...this CD rocks!, March 6, 2009
This review is from: The Ronettes: Ultimate Collection; Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I am going to make this short and sweet. I have all of the Ronettes' stuff...the mono, the stereo, the cassettes, the CD's, the records, the cheap, the expensive, the super-expensive. But dollar for dollar, this is the first CD I would buy if someone asked me and said they could only afford one CD. The posters on here do not lie. The sound? Remastered excellence. The selection? Do you get all 36 of the Ronettes' ever-recorded tracks? No. But you get most of the good stuff, and all the great stuff. Buy without hesitation.

THIS is the collection to get!, March 18, 2008
This review is from: The Ronettes: Ultimate Collection; Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Forget the Abkco label stuff, here are the fabulous Ronettes singing 29 great songs, with all but a handful in TRUE STEREO. Any stereo mixes of early Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" recordings are exceedingly rare, but on this collection you are in for a treat as such classics as "Be My Baby", "Baby I Love You" and "Walking In The Rain" unfold on on a wide STEREO soundstage, taking your breath away like those narrow, tinny and very busy (transistor radio) sounding versions NEVER could. A few, like "I Can Hear Music", aren't available in stereo, but at least they're included here. And three of their Christmas classics also appear here in wide stereo! All other Ronettes collections will be either mono or remakes; again, THIS is the real deal, the original hits, mostly all in stereo. A bargain at any price, this will make you want to throw your mono Abkco CD's in the trash.
