WHOEVER GAVE THIS CD 5 STARS WAS DEAF! THESE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS AND IT EVEN SAYS SO ON THE CD CASE BACK. MY TAKE IS THAT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL VOCALISTS ARE NOT ON ANY OF THE SONGS AT THE SAME TIME. I AM NOT FROM THIS ERA OF MUSIC BUT I HAVE HEARD THE SONGS ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THESE ARE NOT THE SONGS WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT AMAZON DOES NOT GIVE US A DISCLAIMER ABOUT RE-RECORDED CD'S THAT ARE PRESENTED AS ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. IN THE STORE WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BUY THEM.....

This is truly for people who like the Drifters. It has some of the classic Drifters music as well as some of their covers of other artists songs. While the songs they cover don't completely sound like the original, they do have that Drifters sound to it.

Twenty-five songs (including "Under the Boardwalk" and "Another Saturday Night," my personal reasons for buying the album) and over an hour of music are included on this CD. The sound quality is excellent; there is not doubt that these are the Drifters. The selection of songs is also good. A slight drawback might be a lack of information in the jacket (there's a listing of tracks and nothing else). Reccomended; it gets played more often than a three-volume Drifters retrospective that sits next to it on the shelf.
