2.0 out of 5 stars poor edition, April 24, 2009

This review is from: The War Years: 1941-1945 (Audio CD)
The material here sounds awful, of all the harlequin releases I own, this is by far the worst sounding. Most of the material comes from transciption records made during the war to encourage the troops in the form of radio broadcast. It features the wonderful Lina Romay in three selections or such (the best of such being Shu Shu Baby). If you want to own some of this rare recordings being released by Harlequin my advice is to start with "A weekend In La Havana", and if you want an incredible CD featuring Lina Romay go get "Maracas, Marimbas & Mambos" released by Rhino with cuts from the MGM musicals in which Cugie used to appear.

Sonido infame procedente de "transcription records" (esto es, programas de radio grabados en vinilo para radiarlos a las tropas allende los mares durante la segunda guerra mundial). Además, la selección no es muy buena, hay que ser muy completista de Lina Romay para querer este disco. Si estás interesado en adquirir uno de estos discos de rarezas que está sacando Harlequin (probablemente sin licencia..), te recomiendo que empieces por "A Weekend In La Havana", con un sonido soportable y una selección de joyas de la hostia, además la mayoría del material es en castellano (incluída una magnífica versión de "What a Difference a Day Made" de la mano de la gran Carmen Miranda). Si estás interesado en adquirir algo de Lina Romay o simplemente pillar un discazo de Cugat mira a ver si aún te puedes agenciar una copia de "Maracas, Marimbas & Mambos" que sacó Rhino con material de los musicales de la MGM en que Cugie solía participar.

¡Salud!
