CD Reviews

The Best Collection to Date!

Damon Devine | Los Angeles, CA United States | 12/11/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is the most complete collection to date, for it includes the best tracks from ALL Yma Sumac albums, INCLUDING her terribly rare pre- America album, recorded in Argentina in 1943. It is fascinating to hear her vocal improvements as she grew into a mature woman. In the liner notes are rare photos (only ever seen on her official site, www.yma-sumac.com (don't forget the hyphen!). This is a TWO CD set, with beautifully remastered sound. For the die-hard fans, this is a must. For the new fans, this is a glorious and thorough introduction into the magical world of Yma Sumac."

INFERIOR BOOTLEG RELEASE

Mr. G. Palmer | Northamptonshire, England | 08/29/2007

(1 out of 5 stars)

"BEWARE: THIS RELEASE IS A BLATANT BOOTLEG AND INFERIOR RELEASE OF THE YMA SUMAC CAREER ANTHOLOGY ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON BLUE ORCHID IN 1995 WHICH CONTAINS A 16 PAGE BOOKLET AND ESPECIALLY COMMISSIONED LINER NOTES. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS BLATANT RIP OFF!!"

Worth it just for the 1940s tracks

Mudiwa | Northern Virginia, USA | 05/29/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have CDs of all the music on this compilation, except for the 1940s tracks. If you are considering this to sample Yma Sumac, it is a fine choice. If you are a collector, or fan, the old tracks make this worth while.

Yma Sumac has to be heard to be believed."
