1.Greatest Hits by: Duane Eddy October 23, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.97 You Save: £2.02 (29%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.56
Conventional wisdom is that Duane Eddy's best work was for Lee Hazlewood's Jamie label, between 1958 and 1962, whereas the material he cut for RCA from 1962 to 1965 was sanitized, commercialized and lightweight. One only has to compare the 1964 version of Rebel-Rouser on this CD with the 1958 original to see some truth in this. From the same year, Rumble, the Link Wray classic, on paper promises to be explosive but wouldn't even register on the Richter scale, notwithstanding a slightly menacing undercurrent, and sounds polite enough to be played at a vicar's tea party. Some tracks, such as the saxophone-led Tequila, hardly seem to feature Duane at all. In the three years he was with the label, RCA managed to squeeze nine albums ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £1.01 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.99
There are many Duane Eddy compilations on the market, often available very cheaply, but many say in the small print something like "tracks may have been re-recorded by the original artist to ensure high quality". One wonders how many times Duane Eddy has gone into a studio for a few hours to knock out his greatest hits with a couple of anonymous sidemen, and why this would make better sense commercially to anyone than licensing the original tracks. The originals have passed into history and have a value as artifacts that is unique and that re-recordings can never have, however good. Duane Eddy is long overdue for an extensive reissue programme and a comprehensive compilation spread over two or three CDs. Meanwhile, this useful ... Read More:

Its cheap and it has all the right titles but the sound is thin and characterless. Duane Eddy played a mean guitar that was deep and dirty but this recording gives you none of that. This reduces the legendary guitar man to lift music. A real dissappointment.

6.Especially for You by: Duane Eddy April 25, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £23.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £20.49 You Save: £3.50 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.79
This sounds better than the original vinyl. It's all the original LP tracks plus a few extra that make this CD a very, very ,very good buy.

7.18 Greatest Hits by: Duane Eddy April 28, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.99
As someone who bought the original 45 singles during the late 50s and early 60s, be warned that these are re-recordings and are not the originals which hit the charts. Not only are they not the originals, but the recordings sound quite amateurish. To be avoided.

This is a shite collection of re-records with poor balance, lots of really clumsy drum work and absolutely awful sax passages which are an insult to much of the original work of Boots Randolph etc.. I consider the selling of this rubbish without the relevant information about it to be tantamount to fraud and I want my money back. This sort of stuff gives Amazon a bad name. David McEwan Hill
