Title: Lamarque Deserved Better
Product review: I bought this thinking it would be a good introduction to "La reina del tango". It isn't. I find it hard to believe that Lamarque, a multimedia superstar for decades, was as bad as this so-called tribute makes her sound. There are too many tracks from late in her career, when her voice wasn't what it used to be and she couldn't hit the high notes any more. It's as if the folks at Sony rounded up a couple dozen rejects from other compilation albums, threw in a few bona fide hits, and called it an album. They didn't bother with liner notes, and the dates given in the track listings do not often correspond to the actual recording dates. Sony's treatment of this artist -- and the people they've duped into buying an inferior product -- borders on contempt. Shame on Sony.
