Todo Gardel... the Altaya reprints

[Jorge Finkielman <finki_1@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Que tal:

  I hope that somebody is reading this post in Spain
(y ojalá que así sea).

  It is quite offensive that the industry cheat the
audiences around the world. And the worst insult is
that a reissue is going to improve things when they
actually do exactly the opposite.

  The Spanish company Altaya began recently to
reprint, as they said, the complete discography of
Carlos Gardel including rarities for the first time
and with an unprecedent sound quality "thanks to the
technological improvements"... bla, bla, bla.

  Sadly, in capital letters, THEY ARE LYING!

  First they are NOT reprinting the entire
discography; a number alternate takes of a single
songs are not going to be published (and I have 20
cassettes with those).

  Second, and worse, the sound quality is horrible!
Even the original 78 r.p.m disks, and the later 33 1/3
LP's earliest technical reconstructions, had a much
better sound.

  For my part, I don't care about the way Altaya do
their bussiness. But they cannot lie to the public,
specially in critical days as these ones.

  My advice, is to keep the LP's and not purchasing
this badly conceived fiasco.
