Part of RCA Victor's epic series of two-disc, 40-track sets spanning the best Latin music of the 20th century,
Pérez Prado's Lo Mejor de lo Mejor features all of his classic recordings, including "Mambo No. 5," "Que Rico el Mambo," and "Patricia." Although there aren't any liner notes, simply listing the recording dates for each song is quite an accomplishment for a Latin collection. Two discs is a lot of music, but RCA Victor deserves kudos for allowing listeners to hear so much great music in one inexpensive collection. ~ John Bush
