1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!!!!!, June 1, 2004

By A Customer

These are NOT the original recordings nor are they quality remakes. Strictly budget hour and it's a pity so many will be fooled by the packaging. It's very embarrassing to have the Grass Roots name attached to this.
Get the All-Time Greatest Hits on MCA, or better yet the Rhino Anthology. It's now Out- Of-Print but turns up on Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Grassroots Greatest Hits complete sham, January 21, 2004

By A Customer

I bought this CD, and returned it for a refund in 2001. I am suprised it is still listed in the catalog as it is immediately obvious that the songs are not the originals and the artists could be anybody. This album is a complete misrepresentation and the real product should be found, if it exists at all, and then advertised here.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's close, but no cigar..., April 17, 2001

By A Customer

Being a big fan of 60's and 70's music and finally being dragged kicking and screaming into the new millenium, I went through my thousands of vinyl 45's and LPs to decide which ones I would replace with CDs. I had so many Grassroots 45s, that it was a no-brainer that I should purchase the Greatest Hits rather than find them on compilations. I listened to it today for the first time, and as they say in England, I was gobsmacked. Was that really the Grassroots? Or a tribute band? The voices sound familiar, the style was the same, but something was missing. It sounds as though the singer was reaching for the high notes. The music had a shallow, or one dimension quality. It wasn't rich with the many underlayers of quality sound that kept me singing their songs for all these years. I'm not a musician or a singer, so sorry if the description is poor. These are definitely not the original cuts of the songs. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE the songs. Some of them on my all time top 10 list. This CD release reminds me of them, but I'm keeping the vinyl around until I can burn my own CD of the originals.
