Negative Positive
Title: For devoted fans, this is a treasure trove...
Review: Erasmo Carlos was a '60s teenybobber idol in Brazil's "jovem guarda" rock scene, who went on to sing romantic ballads like his costar, Roberto Carlos. His later work is gathered in this immense, 15-CD set, which I have to confess I'm a little afraid of. It picks up his story in 1971, skipping most of the teenybopper stuff, and plows through to the 1990s. Included are three special discs, one of rarities, another of duets with various guest artists and a third of songs sung in Spanish. For true fans only, I'd wager. (Although if the folks who control the RGE catalog wanted to (hint, hint) put out a box set of his earlier albums from the '60s, I'd be way into that...!!)
