Title: Producer did not know better!!!
Review: I would surmise the producer was TOO YOUNG to know what the original songs fromthe 50s & 60s sounded like because what you heard in those years is not what is found on thisRCA? greatest hits box set. I've noticed this to be the trend in artists from way backinto the 50s and 60s. If you want to have the original releases then buy Harry Belafonte'sindividual (3) All Time Greatest Hits CDs as Vol. 1, 2 & 3 if they're still available. LuckilyI have these. Lately greatest hits compilations are NOT true to the original recordingsbecause the producer NEVER heard the songs as a youngster. You would be betteroff reading reviews from people who lived in the era when the songs were popular.It's too bad when a major label like RCA can't find someone to verify the authenticityof the recordings. You can't substitute alternate takes for the originals.Aloha,Roy Szanik
