I just recently bought two of those "Cruisin" anthologies (for 1965 and
1968) to get copies of "Ligthnin' Strikes" by Lou Christie and "Cry Like
a Baby" by the Box Tops.  The albums are marked "Original Artists", and
they DO sound like the original artists, but they DON'T sound like the
original recordings.  Are these re-recordings?  Alternate takes?  I noted
distinct differences in the mix AND in the playing itself on "Lightnin'
Strikes", "She's Not There", and other cuts.  Tell me I'm not dreaming...
