My father is Hugh Geyer (one of the *original* Vogues). This album does not contain songs from all the original Vogues. Beware that you will be purchasing music not recorded by the original artists. Therefore, I feel it does not compare with the quality you would receive from the other Vogue albums on sale at Amazon.com.

These are all re-recordings, made at Singleton Sound Studio in Nashville by one of the many imposter groups posing as the Vogues. Naturally, the packaging doesn't mention that these are not the original recordings or the original artists. Sun has marketed this disc with a budget retail price, hoping to lure unsuspecting consumers. Don't be fooled!

Talent aside, these guys are not the original vogues. Not one of them were in the original group. There are at least 4 "vogues" groups out there today, besides the originals. Save your money for the real thing. The real Vogues were great and cannot be matched.

The original Vogues are not allowed to perform under their name because Terry Brightbill trademarked the name. The real Vogues, the ones who did all the work and created the hits in the 60's, are only allowed to perform in 14 counties of western PA. These guys are not the originals. Form your own opinion about people who pretend to be the ones who did the real work to make the name recognizable.
I had to give them one star because of the way this site works but I wouln't have even given them one half considering how they got here. The least they could do is call themselves "The Vogues - not the real people but a imitation" kind of like Beatlemania.

This group is not the real group the Vogues, they are phonys do not waste your money buying this album as it is not the original group there is only one group with that GREAT Vogues sound this album should not be rated. it should be put in the nearest dumpster be advised if you have itunes for your ipod itunes posts this album cover instead of the cover of the original group for the real "Vogues" greatest hits

There's a reason there are no sound samples on Amazon's listing for this CD. This "not" original group,no original members! And there's no comparison to the real singers. These are just Cruise ship lounge performers trying to make a dime off the original "Vogues' name. Do a search for "The Vogues - Greatest Hits" or "Turn Around, Look at Me/Till" and spend your money on the real thing. You won't feel cheated!

(PS.even one star is too much for this one!)

Imposter group. I am a distant relative of Bill Burkette's family and this is not the real Vogues. Buyer beware.

Why does it matter if they are not the original Vogues? The singing is good! You pick your music and I will pick mine. Their harmonies are wonderful and they sing with feeling as compared with the "originals" who sang with none. I would rather hear a copy group who does the music justice. I also saw this group in concert, too, and they were heads above the originals.

for those who have never studied hagel or the process of dialectics-then the process of continual change might be beyond their level of comprehension.there will be personnel changes within any living entity-including musical ones. when these changes occur then each component part-the old and new-act upon each other - which brings about change.there is only one rock group that still has the original members but even they have acted upon each other to create a process of change.if the reader expects every thing to remain the same then i would suggest going back and watching gilligans island. this cd is a great musical effort with all members-old and new-contributing their respective skills and producing a fine product. this-indeed is a fruit of collective skill and wisdom.
