1.0 out of 5 stars Vietnam "Regeneration" Fails, October 14, 2004

As a member of the "Vietnam Generation" and a Vietnam Vet whose daily link to the "World" was Cronauer, and his successors at AFVN, many of the titles on this album have great meaning. Unfortunately, the Dutchman who remastered and/or remixed these songs never heard of American Rock 'n Roll and is unaware of how attuned we are to the music. Though I don't doubt that these are the original artists, the production quality of this album is so poor that the songs sound like inept covers of great tunes. DO NOT buy this album. Don't even accept it as a gift. Amazon would do well to do a little QC on the products that they distribute. P.S. As a music lover who is near fanatical, I am well aware of who Nina Simone is, and the great work she's done, BUT, I don't ever recall hearing her on AFVN or any AFRTS programming before, during or after my tour.

1.0 out of 5 stars Re: Oops, September 12, 2005

The line up for this CD sounded great. But I should have known better.
The general quality of the sound on this CD is bad, and if that isn't enough to disappoint, they have selected some truly bad examples of songs. One version to watch out for is 'Born to be Wild'. Loved the original version how the '97' version made into a collection of Vietnam era music I have no idea. And it is a really bad version.
My advice: Stay well away. Save your money. There are better collections out there.

I was looking forward to listening to this album, but when it came and I began to listen I was in total shock. I know my hearing has taken a beating over the years but this was the pits. Save your money.
