"This CD contains remixes of ten songs from Selena's teens. Seven of the tracks originally appeared on Selena's 1986 album Alpha. The remaining tracks appeared on early albums released in 1987 and 1988. Four tracks appear on the recent Anthology collection and one appears on Siempre Selena. The remaining five tracks are not otherwise available on CD. These tracks are Pensando En Ti, Con Esta Copa, Pero Como Te Ha Ido, Dame Un Beso and Dulce Amor. All ten tracks are in Spanish and the lyrics are included.This is a Tejano album of cumbias and rancheras. It may not appeal to fans of Selena's mature style who prefer her popular and English recordings, but Selena's rich voice dominates throughout. It's hard to believe that she was in her early teens when these tracks were recorded. This collection showcases the early years of one of the greatest voices in popular music. Buy it and enjoy."

Breathtaking, Exceeded ALL of my expectations!

"I was lucky to have purchased "Selena: The Early Years Vol.1" directly from the record label, basically the second I was aware of its availability. This album consists of the ORIGINAL versions of songs that were later revamped for tribute compilations, which originally debuted in the 1980's when Selena was in her early teen years.Produced and released by Selena's father, and his record label (Q-Zone Records), this is a first-class, long awaited release which will be the first in a 5 volume series. The best tracks on this CD are: "Con Esta Copa", about a woman who must drown away a love that ended and can never be again, Selena sings with such emotional passion that it is really hard to imagine a 14 year old behind the mike. Selena really shines with her first two hits in her career, which are included in this album: "Dame Un Beso" and "Dulce Amor", two very fun up-beat love songs.Other stand-out tracks are the original "Corazoncito", which is a fun dance tune, the fast paced yet smooth to the ear "Pero Como Te Ha Ido" and the great and powerful opening track, "Te Amo Solo A Ti". This record was not co-released with EMI Latin, but that does not prevent it from being a very good Selena album. Mr. Quintanilla and his staff have given to the fans a very worthy Selena tribute."

What a beautifull talent she had!

"Selena the Early years cd tells it all. This cd is an example of what artist really is, the songs on this cd were recorded when Selena was very young, by just listening to some of the songs you can admire her beautifull voice. Also the lyrics on the songs are beautifull for example the song "Soy Amiga" , even though this song was recorded on 1985 it can be a hit song today. I'll recommend this cd to everyone , these days it is hard to find artist with a true voice."
