FYI: Beware of misposted Amazon reviews!

Amazon reviews cross-posted to the wrong Product Pages have always been a problem; but now it’s reaching epidemic proportions.

The latest that I’ve noticed on Amazon UK is the German Sabicas LP Flamenco! (ASIN=B003B5IFHQ), which (to judge by the information on Discogs) is merely yet another reissue of Festival Gitana (Elektra EKS-7149).

It carries my US review of Giants of Flamenco, which is a jumble of tracks from Sabicas and Carlos Montoya!

Also, watch out for links from a CD page to the (putatively) corresponding MP3 album, and vice versa. These not infrequently point to something completely different that happens to have the same title. This is especially true of Best of… compilations.
