La Leyenda (4 Disc box)

I've always been and always will be a huge fan of Selena. It was in late 2009, I was hearing rumors of a new box set coming out with unreleased demos from the Dreaming of You sessions in 1995. Also, unreleased Spanish songs. The track listing for this box set was released in January of this year and I was a little disappointed.

Again, we have All the songs that have been released time and time before. Yes, I do love these songs but again they decided to package the same material. Yes I do love the nice booklet, the cover of this album, and locket that comes with it. But again, its all the same songs. Disc 1, covers all of Selena's well known Spanish hits, "Amor Prohibido", "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", "Como La Flor", etc.

Disc 2 covers mostly Selena's Tejano & Rancheras, "No Me Queda Mas", "Ven Conmigo", "Ya Ves" etc. I have all of these songs from the original studio albums and previous greatest hits packages.

Disc 3 covers all of Selena's English...Read more

To the folks that reviewed this product, thank you... I had a suspicion that this was yet another "greatest hits" that is merely put in a beautiful package; I see that I was not wrong.
The only thing I'll say that my fellow reviewers didn't is that, if you are unfamiliar with Selena's music, this would probably be a good investment for you. You get the full range of the spectrum here, starting with the pop-flavored Tejano rancheras that made her a favorite in the late 80s/early 90s and the cumbias that took her out of Texas, as well as the English tracks that tragically continue to show us that, had she lived, Selena would have been HUGE across the board.
However, if you're a fan that has the complete Selena collection (or close to it), then you're better off waiting until some actual unreleased material comes out.

As a huge Selena fan, i feel that they should have put more effort into this collection to give it a new twist. Even though I like the colors and the designs of the box, it's pretty much similar to the Anthology and the Unforgettable collection. Instead of releasing just the same material year after year, give us something different that we have never heard before. Just like what the people did to Michael's Ultimate Collection cd, they should add unreleased songs and demos. Include any footages or rare interviews or even spoken rare facts on Selena. Make this collection more worthy to buy...it's been 15 years so this marks another milestone. They should have really done something BIG with this collection...for old time fans and new ones!
