Title: One great track; new versions by the original artists
Review: These tracks are new versions by the original artists. That's why they don't sound like the original recordings -- they aren't the original recordings. Whoever assembled the album got the original artists to re-record their old hits, or maybe the re-recordings were lying around for some reason. The album listing should make clear that these aren't the original recordings, and it doesn't.I can't comment on most of the tracks because I've heard only the clips Amazon provides. I can comment on one, which I bought: "On and On," by Stephen Bishop. I recommend it highly. It's a great performance, mostly solo acoustic and voice, with double-tracked vocals in a couple of spots. The original version,here, is one of the best pop records of the '70s. This version is different but also excellent, and very much worth owning.
