I bought this comp together with "Sugar Daddy" for a nearly perfect dose of Palmieri. There are a few boring jazz jams on here, but the wealth of absolute classics makes it more than a bargain: "La Malanga" is incandescent, "Justicia" and "Vamanos Pa'l Monte" are indispensable, and with very few exceptions this really is Palmieri at his best.
September 24, 2008 |  | A historic 2-CD set which covers his 1960s, '70s and '80s classic recordings. |  |
No one compilation could do an artist of Eddie Palmieri's importance full justice but this indispensable 2-CD set comes quite close. The compilation producers thankfully chose to include tracks from virtually all phases of his career from the 1960s through the '80s and (as such) you get classic hits from the Tico, Alegre, Coco and Fania labels' vaults--all with truly superior sound quality. Of course, Eddie's classic 1960s albums for the Tico and Alegre labels revolutionized Afro-Latin music and they remain undisputed Salsa classics to this day but until they are all reissued...this collection is the best and most comprehensive of Eddie Palmieri's music you can get. To say this 2-CD set is a worthwhile addition to your Salsa collection would be an understatement as (honestly)...it's INDISPENSABLE!!!
