Title: Re-recordings!
Product review: Don't let the budget price fool you, the two discs included in this set are not the original recordings, but rather re-recordings by "one or more members of the original group." There's nothing necessarily wrong with re-recordings per se, but if you are looking for the original recordings, skip this set. Amazon.com carries plenty of other CDs with the original recordings by these two bands.Of the two discs, The Searchers' disc sounds truer to the original recordings (love that twangy 12-string guitar sound). The same cannot be said for Herman's Hermits. The distinctive vocals of Peter Noone are missing here making the Hermits sound like just another "cover" band. Yes, the song selections for both groups are great, but they're just not the originals. Caveat Emptor!
