Free Music Notes for Ricky Nelson - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Music I grew up with
Hit: 4 Stars
If you grew up in the 50's & 60's Ricky nelson music was all around you. Easy listening and up close and personal dancing with your favorite girl.Free Music Review: real good collection...
Hit: 4 Stars
Real good collection but it could use a few more songs that are missing like "Today's Teardrops" but a good collection nevertheless.Free Music Review: Not what it's cracked up to be!!
Hit: 3 Stars
The CD is good, but not what it should be. I love Ricky Nelson, but some of the titles on the CD were just put on to fill up space. It's still worth getting for the classics, "Lonesome town" and you should know the others.
Free Music Review: Beware-download version doesn't contain all 25 tracks & bit rate varies from track to track
Hit: 1 Stars
Amazon indicates 25 tracks available on the product overview page, but they don't tell you that you get only 22 when you download the album. After you've downloaded it and discover the discrepancy you have to listen to some customer service tech in India tell you a hundred times that there are only 22 tracks, and then you have to take them to the product overview page, tell them to scroll down to the 'preview' link, then to the 'see all 25 tracks' link before they'll actually believe that you're telling the truth. But they'll STILL try to tell you 'if you click the link for the download you'll see only 22 tracks'. I finally got a #3.95 credit out of the tech that worked on me, but bottom line, WHY offer only 22 of 25 tracks for download?? Had I but seen a SINGLE disclaimer saying 'not all tracks come with download version, I'd have passed, and purchased this album from iTunes.
In addition, the bit rate varies from song to song. Amazon says they're all 256 kbps, but 2 of them are 192, 7 are 224, 4 are 256, and the remaining 9 are 320. If fidelity matters to you, then purchase the disc, or purchase the download from iTunes, and get a better quality download without the headache of dealing with some tech on the other side of the world that you can't clearly understand.
This purchase has been a BAD experience, and I'll definitely confine my digital music purchases to iTunes in the future.
Free Music Review: Remasters: NO!
Hit: 1 Stars
Others' reviews here of Rick Nelson's work have been near complete and quite informative. I personally have found the "remaster" quality and content of these tunes to be unacceptable in that they have "remix' and edit qualities about them that are entirely untrue to the original production. Compare, for example, the opening seconds of "Travelin' Man" in the digital remaster and original versions and you'll hear what I mean. And in many tunes an artificial stereo effect is hyper-exaggerated in that the accompanyment and vocals are too separated R-to-L. Go with a good analog-to-digital conversion of the ORIGINAL producton and not what seems to be a quick re-do afterthought.
