The title of the album is , and a sticker on the front of the CD's jewel box proclaims, "The greatest hits! The best collection ever! Includes 3 new songs!" The clear implication to the potential buyer is that this album contains the original 1960s recordings of such hits as "You Keep Me Hangin' On," along with three recently recorded tracks. But that is not the case. is an entirely newly recorded album on which the 2004 edition of -- bassist , guitarist , drummer , and organist (replacing original member ) -- re-creates its versions of songs that appeared on its albums and singles of the '60s. (On one track, "Need Love," is replaced by , as backs the band in a live recording.) The three new songs are the 1979 hit "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (which co-wrote with while working as his drummer) and, oddly, versions of two hits by turn-of-the-21st-century boy bands, 's "Tearin' Up My Heart" and ' "I Want It That Way." The performances are true to the style, with slowed tempos, quotes from classical and traditional themes, and lengthy improvisation (eight of the 12 tracks run over six minutes), and the album certainly demonstrates that, almost 40 years into their career, the bandmembers retain their rock & roll chops admirably. But this is still an album of re-recordings packaged in such a way that the average fan could buy it mistakenly thinking it contained the original recordings. ~ William Ruhlmann
