Free Music Review: Disappointed
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this CD with great expectations, because I hoped to have Oh Neil with Carol King. I was disappointed to see it wasn't there. As I came back to see if I was wrong in my assumptions, I could see I was not the only one who was cheated by a wrong information that is still there in your advertissement.

In the early days of rock 'n' roll, in an attempt to capitalize on a successful tune or rejuvenate the waning fortunes of a recording artist, the concept of "answer songs" often filled the bill and not infrequently made it onto pop radio's playlists. While many were inferior sound-alikes, some were well-constructed and executed tunes that stood on their own and made substantial progress on the charts. Here, in this new compilation from the esteemed Ace Records of the U.K., we are offered a significant sampling of these answer songs, some of which were hits in their own right and some which were relegated to the bargain bins. Included are hits such as Jeanne Black's "He'll Have To Stay", the top-5 response to Jim Reeves' "He'll Have To Go", Jody Miller's "Queen of the House" and Skeeter Davis' (of "End of the World" fame) "I Can't Help You I'm Falling Too". As has come to be expected (yet something we collectors should never take for granted), Ace has done a superb production job with this piece. The massive 28 tracks, several of which appear in stereo (tracks 4,9-11,14-16,19,20,23,24,27 specifically), are presented in the highest-quality sound given the vintage of these recordings. Beyond the recordings, what makes this piece that much more outstanding is the 24-page liner notes booklet, loaded with fascinating backround on the featured artists and music, and punctuated with pics and illustrations. Though while the music CD market is a fading enterprise, Ace continues to raise the bar on the medium. This latest offering is a fine example of how worthwhile the effort can be for us fans of the medium and the music of the era. A definite keeper.Free Music Review: Girl Answer Songs

This is a great collection of rare answer songs in nice clean master tapes. Ace records and Rhino records put out the best collections in the past eighteen years. You can never go wrong (original songs/original artists.Free Music Review: Astonishingly good collection
Hit: 5 Stars
Every track is a high quality production-- not a clunker among them. Almost every cut mimics the original musically. The lyrics are usually clever, sometimes amazing, often hilarious. A truly entertaining listen. Of course, it helps to be intimately familiar with the originals!Free Music Review: Missing Song
Hit: 5 Stars
A great CD, however, beware of one omission: The track titles say that "Oh Neil" by Carol King is included on this CD, however, my copy does NOT have this song, but instead has Skeeter Davis "I Can't Help You I'm Falling, Too". Let the buyer beware!
