I really bought the album for the song, "Up on the roof," but was very pleased to fin others I liked too, which was a real bonus. It arrived on time and in excellent condition.

This is a very nice collections of Drifters songs--all the songs a casual Drifters listener would need. But, they aren't the original recordings. If you've listened to these songs enough, you'll notice subtle differences that are just enough to throw the songs off. It's fine for background music, but it's missing part of what made me fall in love with the songs. From the reviews I've read of other Drifters albums, this seems to be a common problem with these older greatest hits collections. If you really care about the version of the songs you're getting, keep shopping.

I have not yet received this CD, as I have not received the "For Love Of Ivy" DVD.
