3.0 out of 5 starsGood hard-to-find stuff. Worth buying even though it contains a lot of crude knock-off versions along with the real classics.

There are some great songs on here that I was very happy to get, and which are important enough to me that I have no regrets about having ordered it or the price. Having said that, there are far too many "cover versions" of hit songs on here to make it a true collection of 100 hits. Only someone who didn't actually grow up with 50s radio would be fooled. I would imagine those off-brand and regional versions were cheaper to acquire. Some ot them aren't too bad. Some are horrible. But even the better ones don't pass muster because I know every performance nuance of the real hits, and a close and well-done rendition doesn't align with my memories.
