Search - Ismael Miranda :: Este Es Ismael Miranda

Miranda's best solo effort, poor "remastered" sound.

"Great mid 70's work by Ismael Miranda with a killer studio band. This is essential listening for those into real salsa. The MAJOR letdown is the remastering. As of late, Emusica, the new keepers of the amazing Fania records catalog seem to be carelessly reissuing this material. I could guarantee you that this reissue has been ripped from a record. The sound is a bit flat and there are even places were one could hear the needle skip. This is not the master tape. I happen to own this on the original LP and it sounds way better.

I must give credit for the insightful and informative essay and the cool packaging, but Emusica guys, if you are reading this, please let the consumer or collector know if these recordings are taken from a master tape or an LP.

If all this technical stuff doesn't bother you then YOU MUST BUY THIS CD!!!!"
