Disco de Sweet: “Sweet Chronology: Anthology”

I've been familiar with Sweet since Little Willy became a hit in the early 70s. They have numerous compilation CDs, but this one consists of totally reworked versions of the songs. I listened to the samples of several and I didn't much like them, even though I usually appreciate extended and/or slightly different interpretations of songs.

The sample available for Love Is Like Oxygen does not cover the instrumental part at all, but what was covered sounded different but worth a listen to the whole song. Since this song is one of my favorites, and I found a download elsewhere for 77 cents I gave it a try. The vocal parts of the songs are somewhat different as the sample preview indicated, and perhaps an interesting new spin on things. The instrumental part is COMPLETELY different. It sucks! Even though it was only 77 cents I feel like I should get a refund. I don't know what they were thinking with this one.
