Don't Be Fooled
I'm not blaming Amazon on this one but these are not the original artists doing these songs. I'm very familiar with the original versions and also with the new versions.
This reminds me of the K-tel albums back in the 60's and early 70's. They are all cover versions by wanna be bands. Some of them better than others.
For $5.42 it's not a total ripoff but I just want to warn people what they are really getting.

1 out of 20 aint bad?
As you may have read from other reviews, this disc doesn't have any "original" recordings. They're all new versions of the songs that you grew up with, only, they don't sound right. They all have varying degrees of "differentness". Having said that, House of The Rising Sun by the Animals is distinctly different from the original version. In a VERY cool way. WAAAY bluesy. I equate it to a "Director's Cut". I'm not saying 1 out of 20 is worth it, but HOTRS is awesome on this disc. Everything else? Whatever. 2007-04-28




Revival of memories and a unique find
The album, Best of Rockin' 60's was a sweet find of some original cuts of the sixties and some interesting additions like the gritty live version of Tobacco Road by the Nashville Teens and the awesome remix of House of the Rising Sun by the Animals with acapella by Eric Burdon--made my hair stand on end!!! 2007-01-10
