Title: Horrible-sounding CD
Product review: "The Best of the Ronettes" CD is the worst-sounding CD I've ever heard. On most of the songs, the voices of the girls are not as loud as the musical instruments. I didn't have any of the Ronettes' records when their songs were on the charts, but I did hear their songs on the radio and they sounded much better than they do on this CD. Since the songs are all mono on the CD, messing with the graphics equalizer doesn't help at all. You can't get the voices to come in at a natural-sounding mix with the instrumentation. On many songs, there's so much distortion that you can't really hear the tunes. However, the two big hits ("Be My Baby" and "Baby, I Love You") do sound better than the rest of the songs. If you just want those two songs, you'll be satisfied. Of course, Phil Spector was famous for his "wall of sound" when he was producing the Ronettes, the Crystals, etc., but on this CD the "wall" crushes the voices.
