5.0 out of 5 stars Original recordings, but some re-edits, October 21, 2005

By	Fredric A. Cooper "Hollies fan" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good compilation of the best of Santa Esmeralda, with the two lead singers, Leroy Gomez (who unfortunately was only on the first & best album, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", and then went solo & went nowhere with the forgettable "Gypsy Woman" album) and Jimmy Goings, a lesser vocalist who stuck with the project thru numerous albums. BUT several of the tracks here are re-edits, NOT exactly the original versions. That doesn't detract from the music as such, but a buyer should be aware of this fact. The re-edits include "Sevilla Nights" (an instrumental), "Gloria", and "Black Pot". They are not better or worse, just different. At least they are not remixed, which could have really messed them up. So we can be thankful for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Bests, January 4, 2007

By	Disco Buff (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews

The ''Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'' is so popular that many people tend to think there are no other good songs by them. But NOT. ''House Of The Rising Sun'' and ''Another Cha-ha'' are especially fabulous and I myself used to dance to (many years ago) at discos in Japan. Please enjoy their Latin-flavored dance gems. This Unidisc best album is the best among other similar CDs in terms of its sound quality and track selection, including long versions of ''Don't Let...'' and ''House Of...''.
