Among my vinyl collection, this album and the DISCO 12" version are amoung my favorite, played to death. When this came out I snapped it up. Yes it is Disco, in its most classic form, complete with single, disco 12", and this album. Also, its on CASABLANCA RECORDS, Donna Summer, Thank God Its Friday, Flash Dance, Village People...nuff said.

Here in Florida, it was a huge club hit, and the long version is still played today. There weren't that many Latin flavored disco cuts, but with Santa Esmeralda and another artist 'Gomez' you couldn't go wrong.

This is one of the timeless classic albums. I am just waiting for someone to grab this and do a remix CLUB version (DJ Sammy could do it or others) and make it a hit again.

It would be, its that good.

(...) Santa Esmerelda's music took off in the discos, particularly the gay discos. They were examples of the real disco artists, the ones who took ideas & genres of music and mixed and blended them and created new and innovative sounds. Yes, with that familiar backbeat, but then, that's what makes this disco. Their song Another Cha-Cha on a different disc was a mega gay-club classic, filling the floor with dancers every time. But this disc, Don't Let me Be Misunderstood took rock & flamenco and put it to a disco beat and really gave us a great conglomeration of sound.
All too easily people confuse what was commercial disco and what was the real, exciting, thrilling stuff. It wasn't Rock the Boat, it was I Caught Your Act (Hues Corp.) It wasn't Got To Be Real, it was Starlove (Cheryl Lynn). Hey, it wasn't even YMCA, it was San Francisco/In Hollywood (Village People). I'm so glad that many of the full length club hits are making their way from old 12-inch singles to cd. I just wish it was faster.

Hey, it's disco, yet, it's not disco !!!! By golly, I was one of those who threw a disco record on the pile to be burned when the local rock & roll radio station was protesting the flood of disco invading our fair nation. However, this is the one disco-like album I enjoyed. It is unique, provocative and highly listenable. The best song is the title song: an extremely different version of the Animals' Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Due to the song's length, it's doubtful you will hear it on the radio. Try it, betcha' you like it !!!!!!
