great songs, but a small gripe....
Review Score: 








(8/10)
Sure, this is a fantastic collection, but after hearing some of my favorite songs (No te conozco, hasta ayer) minus the ENDING, I wanted to do personal harm to whatever editor or producer decided to cut off the final 20-30 seconds of his big hits? Is the record company really try to cram those extra seconds of music onto one disc? I'd much rather have paid for two CD's, or have given up a few of the early songs on this CD which are not as strong as the second half just to have the COMPLETE versions! For those of you who know Marc Anthony's songs, sometimes the final 30 seconds are the most heartfelt -- I think it's Hasta Ayer (I can't tell because this CD doesn't have any part of the ending at all) which cuts of the great lament, "...y yo te queria tanto mujer.." It's not even part of the song! Okay, so I'm peeved about this. It's not like his songs are 15 minutes each and need editing -- come on! I think it was a ploy to get listeners hooked and then force them to buy all his early albums for the very same songs they should have here. And while I'm on a this small gripe session, it's not nearly as well recorded as BVSC which are much more audiophile.
Okay, other than that and some of the earlier songs which are a bit bland, the rest of this CD is excellent. I hope no one thinks I'm taking away from Anthony himself -- he is excellent. I just hate when record companies insult devoted fans like this by cutting off his best songs early.
