Agree thats the kind of value I like. I would be very interested in the cuban wan. Is it similar to buena vista or a bit more kitsch?
For the 7.99 its worth a punt but sure when I have a discerning reviewer available to check out it could save me some euro if its poor. I did buy a classical cheapie from hmv recently at the till 4.99 for 3 CD's but I thought it was terrible. Quality was dreadful I should of bought a lotto ticket.
Got a cocteau twins album 'Head over heels' the other day and I think its fairly good.I love 'Sugar Hiccup' but the rest is very listenable as well.
Sorry cant do the album photo thingy.

Less kitsch if anything. Mostly recorded in the mid to late '50s. A lot of the artists that appear on the later buena vista stuff are here. A lot of mono recordings but that's what they were... not as good as modern recordings
maybe but still real. It's great.

Deffo. I went to get "Red Headed Stranger" specifically but getting "To Lefty" as well was a bonus. I'm a huge Willie Nelson fan. I just saw the Cuban one and it was a no brainer. Early recordings of artists I already enjoy.
