"First of all a a true salsa fan I would like to correct the other review stating that this is a compilation CD. This CD and all the other Rodven Clasico CDs are not compilations but rather reissues from their original album format. Most of these reissues were released in December 1999. The original album releases were in the 80's. This particular CD is a reissue of Lalo Rodriguez's best album released in the summer of 1988. At that time, Lalo Rodriguez, Eddie Santiago and the late Frankie Ruiz were dominating the salsa scene in Puerto Rico as well as the East Coast "con su salsa erotica". All the songs received heavy radio airplay, most notably the first two tracks. If you want a compilation CD of this artist, I would recomend "Oro Salsero" released in 1994. I you want to remember 1988, then I would recomend this CD, "Sigo Atrevido-Eddie Santiago", "En Vivo y a Todo Color-Frankie Ruiz",and "On The Right Track-Sonora Pocena"."
