My late wife thought she had found a bargain, finding Vol. 1 & 2 for only $9.99. I quickly pointed out that original artists does not mean original recordings. Each of these songs may have an original member of the group singing, but they ARE NOT & DO NOT sound anything like the original recordings, with many quite a bit slower than the original.The only bright spot on this Cd is the rerecording of The Tremeloes' "Silence Is Golden". I have to admit that I like this version better than the original. It is done almost accapella, with a faint organ in the background to keep them on key. This one song is a must hear.
