My excitement was kicked down a notch when I first viewed the track list on this set. Many of the good songs on the original East Side Story, such as "I Need Someone" by The Ambertones, "I Need You So" by The Cruisers, "Lonely Lonely Nights" by Little Julian Herrera and the original "The Town I Live In" by McKinley Mitchell were replaced. The new tracks are for the most part good but the producers should have left the original track list as it was, a true classic collection.
6 out of 10.
Original East Side Story track list, including the 3 gold series albums:
The original would get a 10 out of 10!
