Query: K-Tel is K-Tel is K-Tel...

Don't be fooled by which country K-Tel's CDs originate. If the K-Tel label is there, you have to expect re-recordings. And just because the artist/artists have been dead for decades, don't presume that the recordings will be the originals. What you get here, even though the CD is marketed as an "import," is re-recordings of 35 of the 60 songs. Even most of the older "oldies" are re-recordings. Additionally, numerous of the 25 originals are unfamiliar versions (covers or album cuts) by familiar artists. This 3-CD set is basically a waste of money since you probably won't spend much time playing it. The rule of thumb should be: if the K-Tel label is on it, avoid it.
