Colección is a two-disc compilation album from Puerto Rican singer Roy Brown. It features a collection of Brown's hits and old songs, some of them recorded live. The album was released under Brown's label Discos Lara-Yarí in 1996.[1]
Roy Brown describes Colección as a "self-conscious journey" through his career. He says that the album includes songs that are "favorites of the public, others favorites of mine, some forgotten and unknown, others never recorded and that had their chance, even if they never made it to the 'hit parade'".[2]
Most of the songs on Disc one were recorded live. The first eight tracks were recorded during a concert in San Juan in 1993, while tracks nine to eleven were recorded during a presentation in Jayuya in 1992. "Mister con macana" (Track 12) was recorded for this album on E 1212 Studio in 1994. The remaining songs on the first disc ("Oubao-Moin" and "Encántigo") originated from the albums Casi Alba and Aires Bucaneros.
All of the songs on Disc two were taken from Brown's previous albums as well, like Roy Brown III, La Profecía de Urayoán, Nuyol, Árboles, and Balada de Otro Tiempo. The only exception was the song『Monón』(Track 1), which was recorded on Rubby Haddock Studio in 1996.
