Customer Reviews:
if this doesn't get your feet moving..............2006-06-29
....then you probably don't have a pulse. Every song is eminently danceable, and the band never sounded tighter. What's amazing is that is not a compilation CD, it was an album released in 1958, a true CLASSIC.
Pure BIG Band Salsa.......2003-05-25
This is true big band sound salsa, before the name salsa became popular. Originally released in 1958, You can go back and feel how great this music was back then and still feel the how great it still is today. This tells you this is a treasure chest of great music. Just enjoy and dance as if he is playing at the good old days at the Palladium Dance night,in NYC. The recordings allow you to hear clearly every instrument that was played and precise harmony of the full orchestra. Be carefull playing this while driving in the car, you will be force to pull over and dance a few cuts.
It doesn't get better than this!.......2003-03-07
One of Tito's tightest and most soulful albums, with sharp-sounding horn charts and funky rhythms galore. Recording with the full technical expertise of the RCA studios behind him, Puente's late '50s albums had much richer, better defined sound than competitors on smaller, independent labels, and the brass tones that distort into distorted shrillness on other albums are smooth and clear here. Great material, and a ton of tight session players who were the cream of the crop in the latin dance scene. Highly recommended!
Great.......2001-12-12
A must for anyone looking for a good sample of some classic mambos, jazz suites, and one bolero from Tito.
Awesome Tito!.......1999-11-28
I'm not a mambo or or latin music aficionado, but if you just want a fun, upbeat, latin album by this music legend then I recommend this one! I love it!

Nostagic sounds on CD.......1999-07-07
This CD perfectly demonstrates the wonders of technology. Having struggled to listen to a gradually deteriorating taped version of SINA MAKOSA, that classic by LES WANYIKA, since the early 1980's, I am now able to enjoy this and other equally exceptional classic recordings on CD. The quality of guitar playing, the rythmn, melodies and harmonies of these songs is exquisite. They have soul. To anyone with memories of Kenyan music in the 70's and 80's, or anyone who wants to acquaint themself with this spirited music, this album is a blessing.(Also check out LES WANYIKA's new CD AMIGO (CLP001).)

ANOTHER CLASSIC.......2006-12-08
DANCE MANIA VOLUME 2 IS JUST AS GOOD AS VOLUME 1. AND THIS CD VERSION INCLUDES TWO BONUS TRACKS AS WELL! THIS IS CLASSIC STUFF FROM THE MASTER, TITO PUENTE, RECORDED IN NYC, 1960. THIS CD WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE!
"Dance Mania" Again.......2003-09-20
After years of looking through CD bins in search of this title, and only coming up with the commonplace "Volume 1," I was delighted to see that Tito Puente's "Dance Mania Volume 2" had finally been reissued. Well it certainly was worth the wait because now it's available at a budget price to boot! Both of the "Dance Mania" Volumes are an essential look at the classic Afro-Cuban music of late 1950s and early 1960s. "Volume 2" boasts classic cuts like "A Gozar Timbero," "Guancona," "Separala Tambien" and "Baila Como Es." You have to be dead not to feel this multi-layered rhythmic groove, but the musicianship of Tito Puente and His Orchestra is also spectacular, so it appeals to both your mind and body. You'll be dancing in the streets after purchasing "Dance Mania Volume 2."

Amazon.com essential recording
This is the most outstanding remaster of 1958's Dance Mania, boasting Tito Puente at the peak of his popularity and the height of New York mambomania in the late 1950s. The sound quality of the collection is incredible, capturing with vivid clarity the sentient brass, lush layers of percussion, and big-band interplay on some of the most superb interpretations of Cuban son montuno, bolero, guaguancó, cha cha, and mambo. The Best of Dance Mania saunters and struts with a sensual Cuban passion that makes one want to grab a partner and mambo in pumps and beehive across the living room floor. But these are only a few of the reasons to adore this CD. Some of the greatest Cuban musicians were in Tito's big band at this time: vocalist Santitos Colon and his classic, silken voice; Ray Barretto and Francisco Aguabella and their surefooted congas; and a youthful Doc Severinsen--not to mention the astounding timbale and vibe work from Tito himself. Overall, the quality of musicianship is stellar. While Buena Vista Social Club and its subsequent--albeit well-deserved--spinoff albums continue to charm American ears, The Best of Dance Mania quietly sits under our noses, waiting for discovery by those interested not only in the era of Cuba's Tropicana nightclub, but in the raging scene that happened in America as well. --Karen Karleski
Customer Reviews:
Most of Original Lp, plus lots of alternate takes and more.......2006-11-29
Note to collectors: contrary to the Allmusic website review, this compilation does not feature all the master tracks from both "Dance Mania" Lps, though it features 2/3 of them, plus a few alternate takes. Specifically, 9 of the 12 tracks on "Dance Mania" (rec. 1957) are here, and 8 of the 14 from the follow-up, "Dance Mania Vol. 2" (rec. 1960).
But you have probably already figured that out, as the CD is titled "Best of..." Not being a Puente expert, I don't know if it's a good tradeoff or not, having six alternate takes instead of the 9 original Lp tracks that are missing. But it's great music, remastered well, and can be had for a bargain from marketplace sellers.
HOT CD.......2005-08-17
On July 17, 2005 I purchase Tito Puente's The Best Dance Mania & Dancemania 99, Live at Birdland If you're a Salsa/Mambo ON1or ON2 you are going to love these two CD's. The music back in the day has that perfect tempo to get your boogie on, so Mambo lover these are 2 hot CD's. Eddie from JC
Too hot to handle!.......2003-11-13
I was searching for just the right party music for a small gathering. Dancemania was so popular with my guests that after five minutes the furniture was moved and the dance began! Lets Mombo!!
No collection of Latin music is complete without Tito Puente, any album, any song-they're all golden.
The LP was great the cd is better........2000-05-28
I grew up in The Bronx where the party didn't begin until the Tito Puente Dance Mania was heard. This CD still holds up as one of the best Salsa recording around. The live performances I was able to attend watching Tito Puente; Tito Rodriguez and Machito are priceless memoriesI will never forget and this CD brings back those memories.

Running On All Pistons.......2001-08-23
Fantastic album, the best of the best in the LOUD-AND-HAPPILY-ECSTATIC-AS-HELL-FOR-NO-APPARENT-REASON-EXCEPT-THAT-THE-NIGHT-IS-YOUNG-AND-DANCING-AND-ROMANCING-ARE-DEFINITE-POSSIBILITIES-HANGING-IN-THE-AIR genre of Cuban music. I don't have volume 1 yet, but almost every song on volume 2 is a classic demonstration of everything authentically Latin and Street-Wise that came out of the New York Jazz scene in the '50s. The musicianship is tops and the horn players are the best of the period. The only other records I've personally heard that reach this level and combination of purity, Dancibility and substance are "The Best of Irakere on Mundo Latino," and "Willie Colon pressents Ruben Blades,"
Great follow up to DanceMania.......2000-10-19
Well I just finshed listening to DanceMania Volume 2 and I have to say it was great Tito Puente has done it again with his latin music and putting a little bit of jazz in it as well. Alot of great songs that include A Gozar Timbero, Baila Como Es ands the title track DanceMania. So if your in the mood to dance or just have fun this is the cd for you.

2. Roses Are Red [Club Edit] (5/5) Really good song, like thechno beat.
3. My Oh My [Spyke/Clyde 'N' Eightball Club Mix] (5/5) I would say it's my fovourite Aqua song.

Excellent Remix CD!.......2000-06-21
Aqua remixes are awesome. Some of the remixes are better than the actual songs. After listening to this CD, you will want to get up and dance to the cool techno-ish beat. This is REALLY worth the high price of an import. Any Aqua fan should definetly buy this CD! Take my advice! A++++
Excellent!.......2000-02-25
This is an excellent choice for any Aqua fan! ..if you enjoy good up-beat damce music this cd is for you! DJ's have taken Aquas creative music and transformed them into music that you can't sit down to! ...great for parties, and DJs...also includes the prevoiusly unrealesed track "Didn't I"...an excellent song...very catchy....this cd is certainly well worth your money!
manny1030@email.com.......1999-02-26
I love this cd is cool and i like the disco 70!!!!!!!
Very good, but some of the remixes could have been better!.......1999-02-12
I'm a huuuge Aqua-fan, and I love all their songs, and I've always been wondering what they would sound like if they got remixed. Well, I got the answer by buying this CD. There are very many good remixes, but I miss the verse on very many songs. The Perky Park Club Mix of "Barbie Girl" is good, but where is the rest of the song? I can only hear the refrain! Some of the other remixes are like this too, but my favourite remix is the Metro Scuba Club Mix of "Turn Back Time". This fine ballad has been remixed into a catchy dance tune! The CD-ROM-videos are also very good. The "Barbie Girl"-video is my favourite!

Rare 70's Hits.......2005-03-22
I like this CD because it offers some rare 70's nuggets. Most disco collections are filled with the usual suspects (Donna Summer, Sister Sledge, Village People, Chic, etc.). This CD contains some tracks that I had not heard since the 70's and are not available on other compilations. Here is a track by track review:
1. "More Than a Woman" by Tavares. A #32 Billboard Hot 100 hit. This song should have been #1 on Billboard. My favorite song from the "Satruday Night Fever" soundtrack, and much better than The Bee Gees version.
2. "Looking for a Love" by Bobby Womack. A #10 Hot 100 hit in 1974. I don't really consider this a "disco" song, but I like it anyway. And that is one thing I like about this compilation. It contains songs that I was maybe to young to remember that were big hits and it provides a history lesson of hits of the 70's.
3. "Slow Dancin' Don't Turn me On" by the Addrisi Brothers. A #20 Hot 100 hit in 1977. Another song that I would not really consider disco. I did not remember this song until I heard it. Brought back memories of listening to the radio in my backyard in the summer of '77. A fun, forgotten gem.
4. "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman" by Joe Tex. A #12 Hot 100 hit in 1977. Yes, I do remember this song, who can forget it. Not exactly politically correct, but a fun slice of disco cheese.
5. "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" by Lou Rawls. A #2 Hot 100 hit in 1976 that gave Lou the breakthrough success that he truly deserved. One of my all-time favorite songs of the 70's.
6. "Every 1's a Winner" by Hot Chocolate. A #6 Hot 100 hit in 1979. A cool, disco-funk tune. As much fun to listen to today as it was 26 years ago.
7. "Lady Marmalade" by Labelle. A #1 Hot 100 hit in 1975. This may be sacreligious, but I prefer the "Moulin Rouge" remake.
8. "Emotion" by Samantha Sang. A #3 Hot 100 hit in 1978, this song heavily featured Barry Gibb on vocals and since the Bee Gees were so popular at the time, it helped make this song a hit. I love it, and I also love her follow up, "You Keep Me Dancing". I have not heard that song for over 25 years, and I am dying for someone to put it out on a compilation.
9. "Once You Get Started" by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. A #10 Hot 100 hit in 1975. A funky tune, although I like other Rufus/Chaka songs much better than this one.
10. "Right Back Where we Started From" by Maxine Nightingale. A #2 Hot 100 hit in 1976. A great, fun song.
All recordings are original recordings by original artists. Minus points in that there are absolutely no liner notes. As I said earlier, many of the songs here are not what I consider to be technically disco. But if you are adventuresome and want to experience some rare 70's hits, this is a great CD.

Customer Reviews:
something keeps bringing me back..........2007-05-05
I wanted to check this cd out after reading the track listing and saw one of my favorite tracks off AVB's state of trance 06 on it. The track is Sanctuary and i felt it really added a different flavor to his so i had to find this. there is something strange about this album, i still cant put my finger on it but it has something different to it. it crosses so many different types of dance music but makes it work. everytime i listen to it i catch something new. it can be a tricky album at first so i say really put in the time to absorb it, and you may not like it the first time around. i didn't, but like i said there was something that kept making me want to listen to it until i understood what he was trying to capture.
