Estela Raval is one of the great vocalists from the era of the late 50's/early 60's. Her band, Cinco Latinos, was formed in 1957 and with songs like the ones on this disk became one of the most popular in Latin America. On "Los Esenciales" they not only perform Latin American hits from the 60's, they also perform fabulous Spanish language covers of hits by Charles Aznavour and of US hits like "The Great Pretender," "Wonderful Wonderful," and "My Boyfriend's Back." Los Cinco Latinos were such a popular crossover act that they toured with The Platters and, in 1964 they appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Although "Los Cinco Latinos" broke up around 1970, they reformed in 1982 and began worldwide touring again. Estela Raval is still acknowledged as one of the greatest ... Read More

THESE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS. If I had known this, I obviously would not have bought it. What a shame that Amazon chooses to keep this information from it's customers.

I have only a couple of things to add. I second the notion that at last we have "What Am I Gonna Do With You (Hey Baby)" on CD...which is simply the most beautiful girl group record ever made. Bar none...it's that good. And I'm not an expert on sound matters; I'll leave that to others. But no one has yet pointed out two very serious errors on this set that have to do not with sound quality, but with missing tracks. Both "Down Down Down" and "Thumbs Down" have ALL of the backing harmonies stripped away, leaving only Judy Craig's lead vocal. (The latter, in fact, may be an alternate take of the song, as the version on the original stereo LP has both Judy's lead and the backing harmonies all on one track, panned hard left, with all instruments on the right.) It's hard to imagine ... Read More

8.Why I Hate Women by: Pere Ubu October 03, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.97 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.59
3 stars is about the LEAST I can give ANY Pere Ubu release, as there is always good stuff on anything they put out. However, this is probably one of their lesser releases. The screeching, beeping and squeaking synth thing is sounding REALLY old here (sounded "inventive" and unique in 1982, but it's now just annoying) and takes away from what would be a really good song. Dave Thomas is a tremendous talent and can write great music, and even a great pop song. They had a string of absolutely wonderful albums (Cloudland, Worlds in Collision, and Story of My Life. HIGHLY recommended! Check them out.) from the late 80's to the early 90's which was an obvious attemp to "sell out" and attract a wider audience. I guess the "sell out" didn't work and they went back to more of their "out there" sound. It mostly works ... Read More

10.Aloha! Go Bananas by: Spazzys May 29, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $42.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $18.86
Take the 1950s rnr,1960's surf sound and the 1970's Ramones punk style, add three high energy girls from Australia, and you have the Spazzys. When I first got this cd, I could not stop playing it!It's the fresh new old school look and feel that I like about it.Every song is worth listening to on this cd. They are songs about thier lives and songs that bring the fun back to rock and roll. Every Rock-a-holic should get their Spazzy on.
