Free Music Notes for Greatest Hits, Vol. 1
Free Music Review: Warning: "Go Away Little Girl" is NOT the original 45 recording
Hit: 4 Stars
Terrific audio quality, mostly great songs.
However the primary reason I bought this CD was specifically to get Steve's "Go Away Little Girl", one of my all-time favorites, as well as Edyie's "Blame It On The Bossa Nova". Yes, Steve's biggest hit is certainly on this CD, and for all I know it might actually be the original studio recording... which I'm guessing they were ultimately dissatisfied with and decided to not use as the released 45RPM single.
In other words, it is definitely NOT the original 45RPM radio version!
In this rendition Steve sounds sedated on Zanax! All of the expected distinctive multi-track slightly-delayed "echoic" duet sound of Steve with himself is not there, there's no crescendo or syncopation late in the song, and it might actually be a slightly lower key than the radio version. Certainly sounds very down-tempo and different to my ears. Absolutely a different musical arrangement.
So if you want the TRUE ORIGINAL 45RPM radio edit version, buy Steve's "Definitive Collection" which has 31 of specifically his songs... all but two of which are unique and are NOT on this Steve/Eydie "Greatest Hits Volume 1". And the version of "Go Away Little Girl" on that album definitely IS the original radio release. So you'll get 29 other Steve songs, as well as the TRUE ORIGINAL 45RPM radio edit of "Go Away Little Girl".
I'm just saying...
