Query: RE-RECORDING ALERT!!

Sorry to contradict the two other glowing reviews, but these are RE-RECORDINGS of his original hits. I picked this up back in the vinyl days in a bargain bin, and while Thomas is in good voice throughout, re-makes can NEVER conjure up the magic of the original hit recordings. The "Gusto" label that released this, among other "hits" collections, (including a Gary Lewis & The Playboys best of that also fooled me at first) is/was notorious for such deceptions. No reason to buy this as long as the genuine Scepter/Decca hits collections are available. By the way, when will a REALLY COMPLETE B.J. Thomas anthology be released? All the ones I've seen miss at least a few songs. Maybe the people that put out those two-disc "GOLD" sets could give it a shot?
