    Sorry but My True Love is not the origional either. I'm not sure There Goes My Baby is either. So the only one I think is origional is The Big Hurt (which I just purchased). I don't know who is publishing these but they'd make a lot more money if they would pony up the real ones.

    As usual, somebody sucked all the fun out of these hits and re-recorded them to the plainest, most vanilla versions ever. Just listen to these samples and you will know why you have to do some reasearch before buying. I think there is one or two orginals here, but who are these people kidding with these awful knock-offs?!

    This song "The Big Hurt" is Definitely the original recording. (And a lovely vocal). This song was the first recording vocal which featured "phasing". A great tune.

    The Happy Organ by Dave "Baby" Cortez is NOT the original. Why?

    It's a shame that the original Honeycomb isn't here. It isn't anywhere. Same with The Green Door.

    One star for having one original track ("The Big Hurt") out of seventeen. Sad, iTunes, sad.

    Buyer Beware! Stay away from anything K-tel.Mostly all bad remakes of the originals.

    The only real ones are My True Love, The Big Hurt and There Goes My Baby. However, Little Richard does a great job in each and every performance, IMHO, and is worth the 99 cents. Reminds me of the disclaimer on some of the old K-Tel albums "The Original Hits done by one or more of the original artists". What's worse are the remixes from the multitrack masters on other oldies collections. They sound "close" but no cigar. Check out Bless You by Tony Orlando. The chicks are so far back in the mix, they can barely be heard. And they were the main part of the hook. Anyway, iTunes is still a great service. Now, could we please come to an agreement and get the Beatles stuff on here. OK Apple Corps. OK Apple. Please?
