Vilma, An Audio CD

Passed by Tower Records, Makati today before the premiere. This is the CD that caught my attention immediately. One of the new releases from Vicor Records as part of their 40th Anniversary. Vilma, a remastered version of her 60's album! I know that it existed but of course, it was such a surprise seeing a hard copy of it! Much so, in CDs today! Pamatay talaga!

I thought of buying a copy for my mom for her birthday. She is truly a Vilmanian (na namana ko!).

The selections in the album can be found here. It includes the infamous, "Kissing in the park..." But mind you, online it costs $11.99! Dito sa Pinas, a mere PhP125.00! Laki ng difference, no? Talong-talo ang mga Vilmanian abroad who want to get a copy.

Anyway, when will we get to see Aga Muhlach's 80's single on CD? I don't know the title but it was from Octo Arts? Or a remastered version of Gelli de Belen's album from Viva Records? Hahaha! Pag sikat ka noon, you get to record your own album! Kahit pa di kagalingan ang boses mo!

Vicor also released remastered editions of 70's-90's albums and singles. Hay, I miss the days when OPM is truly OPM! Original works and not rehashed versions of whatever yesterhits!

Yeah you're right. KAhit di kagandahan boses, basta sikat pwede magka-album. Case in point: Judy Ann Santos has a full album to her name. Platinum pa.

And then there's Troy Montero. But i don't wanna go into that... :)
