Here’s another LP that my mum often asked “to put on”. I don’t know who and when bought it. By all accounts, it was a weird compilation. Only on five (of 16) tracks the performers were credited, one of them incorrectly; the rest of the songs was played by an anonymous “orchestra”. Some of the titles were translated in a funny way (how A media luz even can be «Твоё имя»?) and some not translated at all (El Choclo = «Эль чокло»). But my mum loved this album and, re-listening it now, I realise that I liked it too. What not to like? After all, it delivers what is says: a waltz after a tango and a tango after a waltz, and comes with a psychedelic cover artwork.
