A four disc boxed set with 100 tracks at a bargain price. The selections cover the '30s, '40s and '50s and the discs are divided up as follows:

As ever, El Bandoneón don't restrict themselves exclusively to the danced tango but this has very little impact on this collection. Even on Volume 2, devoted to sung tangos, most of the tracks are highly danceable.

Included with the box set is a 64 page booklet with the lyrics of all the sung numbers written out in Spanish. This set is an excellent way for a novice to explore this music and would also make an excellent gift.

Please note that the four volumes are not available separately (even though they have individual catalogue numbers), only as a boxed set.
