HUSBANDS AND WIVES
ROGER MILLER A REAL TALENT AND A GREAT MAN. BEST SONG, HUSBAND AND WIVES........
Great Stuff!
I'm glad they re-recorded in quality stereo these memorable catchy ditties from my schooldays. The original mono recordings in Lo-Fi are eclipsed by these Hi-Fi beauties by the real Roger Miller.
Almost as good
These are very good but not original. Still worth a listen if you're a Roger Miller fan.
2 Thumbs & 2 Toes Up
They all sound great to me - and if you're wondering - Yes, I was a real "King Of The Road" - (still am from time to time)
NOT the real thing
No, no, no, these are not the originals, and it seems odd that the prior reviewer would insist they are, even in the face of the clear and straightforward labeling as re-recordings, and also of the slick and glossy sound of the new recordings compared to the old ones.

No regrets
Uncomplicated songs sung well all of his life. If you like his catchy songs done in his unique style, you'll like these.

Not originals
Unfortunately these are all re-recordings.

Such was the surprise, then, accorded the emergence of this classic post-punk Boston trio in 1985 - the exciting consolation prize to an enlightened few still mourning the sudden, premature demise of Mission of Burma. (Burma, America's louder, heavier answer to Britain's obtuse Wire, were not the victim of the usual creative differences, burnout, road fatigue, instability… more »
