Hi Andy,
I would only imagine this happening if you didn't click the sample on the
correct album. I am a subscriber to Napster, I also use 7Digital and
iTunes, and I have found that iTunes has the biggest collection of them all.
Out of interest, which original Drifters track were you looking for?
All the best
Steve

Carol - for what it's worth, try:
www.7digital.com
I've used them for years, and their site is pretty easy to navigate in my
experience, and they have loads of stuff available in 320 kbps MP3.
I was looking at Itunes with a sited friend today, and out of interest, did
a search for *the Drifters*, and when I clicked to listen to the sample of
the tracks, found them not to be the correct final release recordings; they
were earlier takes or outtakes that preceeded the final released recording;
I felt this was very poor in deed, I'm not saying other sites, including
7Digital are not offering what I call the wrong release of certain old
tracks, but that I haven't found that to be the case, so please be careful,
and always listen to the sample before purchasing! -
Andy
