Tango collection & Tango "CD-Discographies"
My tango passion does not only extend to tango dancing and DJ-ing but also to collecting tango music.
After spending a small fortune on buying tango CDs worldwide and investing endless hours in ripping CDs, scanning covers, investigating missing data and correcting information, tagging, organizing, listening and comparing - you start all over again. Like the process of learning to dance tango, working with tango music and collecting tangos is a never ending story.
What is special about these listings? I try to make the connection between discographies and the actual recordings. You may find very detailed discographies, but you do not know where to find the music. And you may find tracklistings based on the information given on the CD covers, which does not mean at all, that this is really the recording you are looking for (due to various versions of that recordings, lack of information or errors on CD cover,..)
So these ~1400 CD tracklistings are cross-listened as far as possible verifying what's what. This should help you to find the recording you are looking for. If you are looking for one of those CDs you may get in contact with me or order it. If the CD is still available I'll try to get it for you.
Tango collection sorted by labels
On the left hand side you find a list of famous tango collections and labels showing track lists of all the CDs I have from these collections. I publish these lists because I was able to obtain CDs you will not find anywhere else on the internet and complete and/or correct a lot of missing or wrong information on the CD covers by cross-listening to recordings of different labels or transfers.
Tango "CD-discographies" sorted by orchestras
On the lower left hand side you will find a menu listing some tango orchestras. This is work in progress and I publish these lists when I have obtained and listened to all or at least almost all tracks of the according discography. So these lists are based on the according discographies of these orchestras, but instead of matriz numbers you will find information of the CDs containing the recordings in question. This might help you in hunting down recordings you are still looking for. (And some listings are more comprehensive than available discographies as well..)
Due to the amount of information and rareness of some recordings and CDs there will be mistakes. I am happy to receive any feedback about missing or wrong information in the listings provided. If you are interested in what I am still looking for, you can take a look at my "missing, most wanted CDs".
