Unnecesary Crazy release from EMI

"This CD is the craziest rehash in modern history. The wise guys/gals at EMI Latin must think that the consumers are mentally retarded or something...
They took their own release Sarita Montiel "La Leyenda", changed the graphics around, deleted some tracks and came up with this "Viva La Diva" CD, trying to pass it as a new release.
What's the difference? To begin with "Legenda" is a 2CD set with 30 tracks. "Diva" is a single disc with 18 tracks, all of which are already in "Legenda." Believe it or not they are BOTH the SAME PRICE. Sounds confusing? Wait till you hear about the art work.
The art work is basically the same, except that the Montiel photo on the cover of "Leyenda" was switched to the back cover of "Diva" and the back cover of "Leyenda" is the front cover of "Diva"... Isn't that cute? By now it should be clear to you that "La Leyenda" is a much better deal than "Viva La Diva." The songs are all great and Sarita is in top form. GO FOR IT!"
