Excellent - By: S. Matthews, 05 Jul 2008 
A Great album ,with a mix of live & studio tracks.
Personally I think the live tracks bring some great energy to the album & even though they are live they have good production.
Turn it up loud & enjoy!
Love it!!
Very disappointed :-( - By: D. Macleod, 24 Jun 2008 
I should have read the other reviews. Some people prefer live but I like crisp full belt studio versions. Shame the CD cover didn't indicate some tracks were live & some re-recorded. Maybe amazon will be nice & let me change it :-)
Talk To Trading Standards! - By: G. P. Jackson, 10 Jun 2008 This is the third Sony/BMG release that I have which contains live and/or re-recordings when it makes no mention of them on the package. The others were Billy Joel & Roy Orbison.
It is clear to me that this company are flagrantly conning the general public out of their cash.
I can remember years ago it was a legal requirement that discs with re-recordings must state it on the cover. Indeed I still have one or two that do.
I returned my Roy Orbison disc to Sony customer services a couple of weeks ago by recorded delivery. Guess what - no reply yet!
Small claims court is next!
Not all original versions - By: Woodlands, 04 Jun 2008 Some of these tracks are not the original versions - how disappointing is it to hear crowd applause at the beginning of a track? & then to hear a live version of a well-known song which doesn't feature the production, timbre or quality of the hit version we know & love (plus crowd singing along on some of them). You have to open the cd & play it before you find out as it doesn't have any indication of this on the cover - & this is particularly annoying as it is something I always check for.
Rip Off - By: Mr. L. G. Connolly, 12 Jul 2007 As stated by others, this CD is useless. I bought itin a shop for a present & was apalled to find out that pretty much nearly all the "big songs" (i.e. "Cracklin' Rosie", "Sweet Caroline", "Song Sung Blue" etc) are all rubbish 1980s live versions - nowhere on the packaging at all does it tell you this. It's only really the very early stuff & the songs from The Jazz Singer that are the actual studio versions. Total rip off, avoid like the plague.
