2.0 out of 5 stars Tee-Vee Records and re-recordings!, July 2, 2003

By

This review is from: Sheb Wooley & Ben Colder - 22 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Well, Tee-Vee/Gusto/whatever they are records is at it again, passing off re-records as the genuine article. They go and find a lesser known country artist or one who is out of the prime of their career and these artists re-record their hits (or sometimes non-hits) for Tee-Vee. This is a quite common case with many of Red Sovine's "hits" as well.

Not a one of these songs are the original recordings and most suffer from a lack of quality. "Purple People Eater" comes off quite good but that's where it ends. The recordings are just not good.

Mercury Nashville/Polygram Records, where are the original MGM recordings? They've taken on a new life in the "shareware" world and you would do well to do something other than license a few masters to Bear Family and do something domestically. Of course, Mercury is too busy worrying with their lap dancer Shania Twain and too many others who CLAIM to be country to worry about treating their back catalog with respect-witness their treatment of the Hank Williams catalog.

1.0 out of 5 stars Re-recordings, February 13, 2001

Beware... these are re-recordings and lame ones at that. Some of Sheb Wooley's earlier recordings ("Purple People Eater") can be found on a Bear Family single-CD release. "That's My Pa" can also be found on both single and box set CD's by Bear Family. His later stuff has yet to show up in its original (MGM) form.

See my comment below this review for updated information about availability of these Sheb Wooley (Ben Colder) recordings.

1.0 out of 5 stars re-recordings, May 16, 2000

This review is from: Sheb Wooley & Ben Colder - 22 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

The only reason I purchased this CD was to get the track "That's my Pa". I have plenty of CD's with the original version of "The Purple People Eater". This CD's tracks of "That's my Pa" and "The purple People Eater" are not the original recordings and are not even very good re-recorded versions. This CD was very disappointing and is being returned.
