This review is from: Fado Amalia (Audio CD)

This Belgian import is a rather mixed blessing. Some of the songs don't appear to be available elsewhere, but it's hard to know, what with the multiple reissues of Rodrigues material on different labels. There are some great performances here, but also some with bad/weird sound. Some of that is undoubtedly due to the age of the recordings, though the liner notes give no information about recording dates. One oddity: on my copy, the songs listed for CD1 are actually on CD2, and vice versa. The other issue is price: I got my copy from Border's (part of the Amazon "family") for $17.98; looks to be a pricing problem somewhere? Fans will want this set, though, whatever the price; there's just no one like this artist.
