Negative Positive
Title: Dean & some other guys.
Review: The "Jan & Dean" recordings on this CD are NOT the original hit recordings as you would hear them on the radio. They are poor re-recorded versions. Furthermore, I honestly don't think that Jan Berry is singing on any of these recordings. I know that Jan does still make recordings (despite his paralysis and brain damage), but I don't hear his voice anywhere on these recordings. If anything, he's singing WAY in the backround. It does sound like Dean is singing on these songs, along with some other singers. But it's not the same without Jan. Jan's the lead guy. Even in Jan & Dean's prime, Dean was usually just a backround singer who hit the falsetto notes. Sometimes he didn't sing on the hits at all, as with "Surf City" (Brian Wilson and 2 other guys sang backup).
Is the review positive or negative?
