"This is the ultimate BACCARA collection. It features 50 original RCA recordings from this great Spanish duo. BACCARA were extremely popular all over Europe in the late 70's and early 80's.

Their music is a blend of Euro disco and pop with brilliant melodies. This box set includes all the hit singles ("Yes Sir, I Can Boogie", "Sorry, I'm A Lady", "Darling", "Parlez-vous français?", "The Devil Sent You To Lorado", "Body Talk" "Ay, Ay Sailor"), all the songs from the albums "Baccara", "Light My Fire" and "Colours" as well as rare tracks such as "Mad In Madrid", "Amoureux", "You And Me", "El diablo te mandó a Laredo", "Baila tú", "En el año 2000", "Eins plus eins ist eins", and "Sleepy Time Toy". Superb ballads such as "Love You Till I Die", "Don't Play Me A Symphonie", "Roses In The Snow" and "Sing Our Love A Lullaby" are finally available on CD for the very first time. This 3 CD box set is a must for every BACCARA fan and a great opportunity to listen again to the beautiful voices of Mayte Mateos & Maria Mendiola, the original line-up of BACCARA. Many thanks to Sony BMG Germany for this outstanding BACCARA retrospective.

"I first heard a couple of Baccara's songs on some compilations of European pop music a few years ago. Upon reading MediaControl's review of this collection, I decided to buy it, and I am very happy I did. MediaControl mentioned most of the most popular songs, but one absolutely wonderful surprise was "Boomerang" (on Disc 2), which is a delight for any Dixieland Jazz fan as I am. This set of 3 discs is a bargain at this price."
