4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT SONGS, MEDIOCRE SOUND, March 15, 2007

By	NYC Music Lover (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this CD specifically because I was disappointed with the
sound of the Collectibles Records "Main Ingredient Golden Classics"
collection. I figured that since this was a Sony/BMG Legacy
2005 release that the remastering would be great. Wrong. It's not
awful, but it's not very good either. Some of the tracks have
a muddy "cassette-like" sound to them. Maybe the original masters
sound that way? In any case, I can't fault Cuba and the guys. This
stuff is prime 70's soul, and even with my complaints I think this
is the best collection of their music out there. "Rolling Down A
Mountainside" is CLASSIC. Sing, guys.....SANG!

5.0 out of 5 stars GLAD TO HEAR THESE HITS AGAIN, March 8, 2007

By	Patricia E. Bell "EGUNLADY" (FREEPORT, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

THIS CD WAS EXCELLENT. THE LINER NOTES WERE VERY INFORMATIVE. THE QUALITY WAS GREAT. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO EXPERIENCE THE ARTISTIC QUALITY OF THESE SONGS AS DIGITALLY REMASTERED AND RE-EXPERIENCE THE GENIUS OF THESE MUSICIANS. I DOWNLOADED THE ENTIRE ALBUM ONTO MY IPOD AND THE SOUND QUALITY WAS DELICIOUS ESPECIALLY ON "JUST DON'T WANT TO BE LONELY"

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Great! Beautiful Arrangements!, December 17, 2007

By	James Blanchard "James - The Scholar" (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I missed hearing "I Just Don't Want To Be Lonely" and I found the album on Amazon.
It's actually better than what I remembered, and the other songs were just fabulous!
