Title: Good, but not the best choice
Review: This album contains 6 new Selena recordings, all very good. Selena also provides guest vocals on God's Child, by David Byrne, which sounds out of place on this album. Much better is her duet with the Barrio Boys on "Wherever You Are." For this version, the "Boys" recorded their vocals in English. To fill out the album, the music to five Selena oldies but goodies was re-recorded with Selena's premortem vocals glued on for authenticity. This practice would be continued on subsequent compilation albums in which those who are not Selena would record new instrumentation and then glue on Selena's original vocals or some distortion thereof so that they could sell it as new Selena product. And the fans bought it, and loved it! Personally, I tend to avoid compilation albums that do not contain the original hit versions. I would recommend the compilation All My Hits over this album. Having said that, this is still a pretty good album and will be enjoyed by most.
Is the review positive or negative?
