Artist: SUMAC, YMA
Title: Recital
Label: ESP-DISK
Format: CD
Price: $13.50
Catalog #: ESPDISK 4029CD
Recorded live in Bucharest, Romania in 1961; previously unreleased. "Probably the most interesting aspect of this disk is that it shows how different Yma and her music were in front of an audience rather than in a recording studio. Not only is her singing different but also the 'sound' of her music. One clearly begins to understand the reasons for the problems that arose for the group once the recordings were released." --Nicholas E. Limansky. Only official live recording by Yma Sumac.


Artist: SUMAC, YMA
Title: Miracles
Label: OMNI RECORDING COMPANY (AUSTRALIA)
Format: CD
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: OMNI 144CD
"Rumoured to be an Incan Princess (or a Jewish housewife from Brooklyn) there is one thing about Yma Sumac of which there is no doubt: her voice -- an astounding instrument both emotive and playful that captured the imagination of millions during the height of her 1950s Voice Of The Xtabay exotica-fame. After years of global adulation, tours behind the iron curtain and then a number of personal crises, Yma was ready to return to the spotlight in 1972. Flanked by original collaborator (King of Exotica) Les Baxter, this was to be no tired rerun of former glories but instead a blistering psyche-rock-exploitation opus! Yma growls and swoops her way over solid grooves, swirling keys and fuzz guitars." Includes 3 previously-unreleased bonus tracks.


Artist: SUMAC, YMA
Title: Voice of the Xtabay
Label: REV-OLA (UK)
Format: 2LP
Price: $22.00
Catalog #: RV 027LP
"Despite her incredibly unconventional style, when the first Yma Sumac album Voice Of The Xtabay was originally released in 1950, it hit number one on the US charts making the Peruvian singer an enormous success and simultaneously launching the 'exotica' vogue. She was an innovator in the truest sense of the word and few, if any, have been able to follow in her giant footsteps."
