I just downloaded a version of Ebbtide. It was awful! Turns out it wasn't the original artist. Then at the top of the page, I saw a list of "Most Downloaded Righteous Brother Songs" and clicked on Ebbtide... and listened.... It was fantastic and it was the great original ! I'm a bit annoyed that iTunes does not let the consumer know if it is a remake or the original. Luckly, someone left a warning regarding this problem. So, do listen to the sample before you purchase a song.

I wanted to download "Unchained Melody", so when I typed it into the search engine, I happened to download the version from this particular CD-- WHICH ISN'T THE @#$# ORIGINAL VERSION! Grrr! I wouldn't care, but it's a buck per song. There should really be something to indicate when a song-- particularly a classic oldie-- is a remake, and not the original. I also wanted to download "De Doo Ron Ron" by the Crystals, and this time before downloading, I clicked on the sample to listen to it. Good thing, because the same thing would have happened with that one too. The moral of the story is: always click on the song you want to download and listen to it first to make sure it's the version you want, particularly with oldies, which tend to get remade a lot.
