This review is from: World's Greatest Love Songs (Audio CD)

This is yet another oldies CD that can't be fully recommended because not all of its tracks are the original versions.

"Sugar Sugar," "One Fine Day," "I'm into Something Good," and "Leader of the Pack" are definitely in their original form.

But "Stand by Your Man," "Little Darling," "When a Man Loves a Woman," and "Save the Last Dance for Me" are definitely NOT the originals, but are contemporary re-recordings by artists who are now 60+ years old. In some cases not all of the original band members are still alive, and in the case of "Stand by Your Man" it isn't even the Tammy Wynette version but some other country singer singing it.

I am not sure if the remaining two tracks--"Cherry Hill Park" and "Silence Golden"--are original or not, because I am not familiar with these songs.

The sound quality of the CD is OK. The bottom line is that if you want an inexpensive CD that contains any of the 4 original tracks listed above, buy it. If not, be aware!
