This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
I like Gipsy Kings as much as the next guy. Heck, I’ve even bought a few of their albums over the years.
But even to me, a two-CD best-of set with nearly 40 tunes seems excessive for a band with only two songs that even fans could readily name. (For those keeping score at home, that would be the title cut and Bamboleo.) Still, no mater how much you love the Kings’ hot-blooded, passionate flamenco fretwork, you’ll find all you want here. Though depending on your view of tracks like the Stars On 45-style Hitmix ’99 and their not-quite-weird-enough-to-be-cool version of Hotel California, you could also say you’ll find all the Gipsy Kings you want — and then some.
