81 CDs added to Audio Park listing
Yasuhiko Fukukawa produces the CD series Juan D'Arienzo Época de Oro published as Audio Park CDs. The complete set of 11 CDs is available as original CDs. This series features a selection of the best Juan D'Arienzo tracks in superior sound quality. You can order them from our CD shop.
During my last stay in Tokio back in 2012 I had the opportunity to meet Shigeru Terada-san, owner of Audio Park. He is a collector of Jazz records and I learned about his extensiv catalog of 78 RPM SP Jazz record transfers. I got some and found out that quality is amazing and plenty of those are very suitable for cortinas. So we got the whole collection which is now listed under Audio Park various releases. And some of them are also offered in our CD shop. If your are interested in others, we can any of them for you on custom order!

Los Clásicos Argentinos
This is a rather old argentinian CD series. Of course it is out of print for long time but you may be able to find it on ebay or mercado libre. If so, take it! Despite being a very inexpensive argentinian production the quality of the recordings is outstanding and belongs clearly to the best you can find!
- Los Clásicos Argentinos - Tango (30 albums)
- Los Clásicos Argentino - Grandes Poetas Del Tango (10 albums)

El Bandoneón / Blue Moon
El Bandoneón was one of the first labels re-issuing tangos on CDs. There are lots of known problems with this series which is why we avoided those CDs for a long time getting better quality releases first. However many collectors and Tango-DJs do have those CDs and for the sake of better meta information we got a bunch of El Bandoneón and Blue Moon CDs in order to correct their information and feed our database.
Problems you will run into using those CDs: There are various speed problems ranging from too slow (seldom) to way too fast (often). Lots of information about vocalists or recording years are either missing or very wrong. Some of these errors are listed by Johan on his website "El Bandoneón" Revisited. We started to note down our corrections in order to add them to Johan's list, but we soon had to give up as there is something or everything wrong on almost any El Bandoneón or Blue Moon CD you look at in detail. So please recheck your El Bandoneón CD or tagging with the information given here or in our database if you are interested in correcting your information/tagging.
- El Bandoneón EBCD (128 albums)
- Blue Moon BMCD (15 albums)
- Blue Moon BMT (40 albums)

With this month's newsletter we want to introduce a new structure of articles. There are three main parts.
The first part will take care of Tango dancing in general. This includes local Tango events as our weekly Práctica as well as international Tango events and DJ-ing schedule.
The second part is about Tango CDs. Especially it will include CD-reviews of albums which became available in our TANGO-DJ.AT/shop, or elsewhere. This will also be the place where we will mention "out-of-print" CDs we are able to offer.
The third part will cover most important changes to our TANGO-DJ.AT Tango database. We will introduce the most important albums having been added as well as major updates of existing entries.
We do hope you find this structure helpfull to follow our activities and find what you are most interested in easily.

Introduction
This month's newsletter is about two main topics. One is the new TANGO-DJ.AT Tango database supporting full date and Unicode characters. The other is about Japanese CDs. First of all about the latest releases of Mr. Akihito Baba under Club Tango Argentino (CTA), but also information about some rare out of print CDs being added as track listings to the catalog and some for sale to the shop as well.
You may also find information about an interesting Japanese 10 CD set and the true hobby of Mr. Shigeru Terada, the owner of the music label Audio Park which turns out to be more interesting for Tango DJ-ing than we thought. There you can also find some insider information about possible new releases by Mr. Yasuhiko Fukukawa.
