5.0 out of 5 stars Correction to previous review
Contrary to the previous review, this IS a compilation, NOT a single artist's CD. I don't know what happened to their CD package - maybe the buyer only received the bonus CD by mistake from the seller, or got some bogus promo CD without the entire package, but believe me, the normal, commercial version of this product includes TWO CDs and liner notes for all the songs,...

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Contrary to the previous review, this IS a compilation, NOT a single artist's CD. I don't know what happened to their CD package - maybe the buyer only received the bonus CD by mistake from the seller, or got some bogus promo CD without the entire package, but believe me, the normal, commercial version of this product includes TWO CDs and liner notes for all the songs, and in our estimation (World Music Network & myself), it's well worth the money. There is a second CD that is an entire album by one of the artists on the first CD. The first CD has a wide range of Roma (gypsy) or Roma-inspired artists from all over the world, from traditional to more modern. I think it's a great collection and I worked on it for a good three months, making it a balanced and well thought out survey. all Rough Guides are quality merchandise, well researched and well respected by critics. Admittedly, most "guide" and "best of" compilations out there can never do the actual music justice - it's impossible to include everything, and the compiler's taste comes into play and there are of course many limitations to any given Rough Guide or the like due to licensing issues, budget, etc., but I feel I gave this comp my all, and so, The Rough Guide To Gypsy Music deserves a fair shake from you the buyer. I therefore feel I have the record set straight. I urge people interested in this kind of music to give it a try. Thanks, Pablo Yglesias (the compiler)
