Unreleased Sheila E salsa album surfaces on Ebay

The salsa album entitled "Fe" that Sheila E recorded for Warner Bros in 1992 but which was never released surfaced on Ebay on a Warner in-house promo cassette and was sold for $ 461 (and not to me boohoo).

Pretty amazing this never surfaced before to my knowledge... Judging from the tracklist the album contains a cover of Guantanamera and two remakes of Sheila's own songs, Tu Para Mi from the 1991 Sex Cymbal album and La Vida Glamarosa, a remake of The Glamorous Life.

Don't know why Warner never released the album, probably because Sex Cymbal was a flop... The title track was later used by Sheila's E-train project and was performed live in 1994 during their tour, as well as on the Arsenio Hall show. None of the tracks from Fe appeared on the two E train albums which in my opinion were way too smooth jazz compared to the fierce songs performed during the 1994 tour.

The full track list is as follows:

1. Fe
2. Regalame
3. Distantes
4. Tu Para Mi
5. Rumera Mulata
6. Guantanamera
7. Soy Feliz
8. Te Nesesito
9. Amado
10. La Vida Glamarosa
11. Fuerza

Is there anyone who has actually heard the entire album??
