Guaco: La Historia 1980-2000

Just another compilation

     

I'm their biggest fan !! I'm not criticising the music (which instead, is probably the most artistic and unique one that you'd find among latin-pop-fusion bands). The problem is that the title is not right, there are not recordings from the 80s here !, they included songs from the 80s that had been re-recorded in 2000s on an album that was incredibly well done and we all went crazy for, "Como era y como es" (not many bands can achieve that either, not even Paul MacCartney when he re-records Beatles songs), but this is not "La Historia". What I don't understand is: Why can't we find those old albums on CD, this band is been together since the 60s, and the oldest recordings you can find are from '95 (which is the case of 3 songs here) and with luck, you'd find 1 or 2 old songs in compilation CDs (but not this one). So what is holding back the release of those productions? does somebody else own those masters?... I guess we all have to keep collecting from rare releases, from old record and tape transfers done by friends who still own them, or from a miracle that finally can put in our hands once again that rich and remarkable sound of the original Guaco that we all grew up with and make it accessible for generations to come .
