Eight years after its creation, Fania Records had accumulated such a sizeable catalogue of artists that it began to issue compilations from its roster of hit-making stars such as Willie Col�n, Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, and Ray Barretto. In fact, 'Crime Pays' was the first anthology the label put out in 1972.
The ironically titled 'Crime Pays' was a comment on the success of Col�n's carefully cultivated bad guy image that he sustained until the mid-1970s. The anthology compiles nine key cuts from his first four albums.
