Don't ever buy CD's out of Kmart, Such a Ripoff - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 09-20-2008, 09:26 PM

I bought a R&B Soul CD with a collection of 30 songs for $9.99 and got home and played it and found out that

1. It's a NEW STEREO RECORDING instead of the Original

2. The Song is not as Long as the Original

What a Waste of money even though it was $9.99-lol

How did I fall for this? It says it was new recordings but it was on the BACK of the CD cover and at the bottom. Not on the Front. I guess that's called creative advertising. DAMM!

Was there a sticker on the jewel case saying K-Mart exclusive? If not then don't blame them. You should call or write to the company that produced the cd and take it up with them. I feel your pain though, I hate when an artist releases a box set and it's full of new recordings of their biggest hits. The new versions almost always suck and sound nothing like the original.

Yeah it sucks, but K-mart is making money off the Sh*T so they are part of the scam too-lol I never seen this sh*t in a rea record store only a sh*thole like k-mart

I bought it for a song by "harold Melvin and the Blue Notes"

Sounds more like-"Harold Melvin and the Green Notes-LOL

Alot of oldies CDs are the New Stereo Recordings. That's why I have to shop very carefully. I also order from Time-Life because they have the original recordings.

I hate Kmart so much that I won't even set foot inside one. I don't like Wal-Mart either, but I'd rather go there any day than KMart. Ugh...

We don't even have K-Marts around here anymore, maybe it's because of this reason, their merchandise sucked

The way the CD put together was creative. On the front it had in very large print

FOREVER SOUL R&B and on the back way at the bottom it had

new stereo recordings by the original artists

lol.

I bought a "70's Hits" CD once at Best Buys that was the same way. None of the songs sounded nothing like the original recordings. You really have to watch what you buy when it comes to music CD's.

K-Mart is the only retail place I'll buy sportscards at. They always have a great selection and are priced fair unlike Wally World.

I meant to say Toilet paper-lol

Karen64 · 09-21-2008, 12:54 AM

Oh, OK! I thought maybe it was something I'd never heard of 'cause I live in Kansas!

Yeah, I know what you mean! I bought a 3-disc compilation of 70's hit "by the original artists" for $5.00 at Wal-Mart once. I was disappointed when I listened to it and found out it was new recordings; didn't sound much like the original songs! Now I know to read ALL the fine print on things before I buy it!
