Amazing sleeper of a record. Hot latin music with mind-blowing percussion; likely Tito Puente on timbales. Jesus Christ in heaven!! Thank God for cheap record labels.

Man, I gotta get a turntable.

Flint. It's a world to explore and discover. My passion is to find music on vinyl that is NOT released on CD. Por exemplo, that Morales album looked like some stupid, run-of-the-mill piece of crap latin shite, but when I put it on, I had to admit that it was one of the best latin albums I've ever heard. Holy crap. It was so good that I kept playing one song over and over again. And then you google the artist and find out that they are well-respected. How would you know from that cover?

That girl is kinda cute, though. : )

Another reason I want to be able to Google things, from right there at the thrift store/garage sale, etc.

Hey, what happened to the tropical drum beats thing? I'm still jonesing for it.

Long ago and far away, when vinyl was king, the stores would have bargain bins of "cut" albums. The jacket would have a hole, notch or cut off corner to signify the store and wholesaler had written the album off. Many of these albums were selling for less than a dollar and some as cheap as 3 for 50 cents.

There would always be a number of compilation albums like that Latin Beat or groups I never heard of. For the groups I had heard of, I usually already had the album, as did everyone I knew...... although it was a good place to replace albums that had been played to death or damaged.

I'd look through the stacks for cool jacket art or names of players I recognized. I think it was about this time I realized how many albums Billy Preston played on.
Most of the albums were in that rack for good reason....they sucked...but sometimes there would be a great cut or two on a turkey. But once in a while there would be a gem.....a gem nobody else had.

Indeedy yes.... back in the 70' oft frequentd the second-hand and remaindered stalls at Birmingham market..... like oxo, I was drawn by the cover-art or maybe a name that rung a bell. From thence, I found Michael Quattro (brother of Suzy) in the lap of the gods amogst others.... also Mandingo III .... a superb Latin-American/Caribean vinyl album with an extra-ordinary dynamic range. A mate of mine with a Revox 77 could'nt tape a decent copy, and even though it's now on CD, the vinyl is still miles better sonically speaking.

Do it. You'll probably need a little pre-amp as well...

Well, I did get that Bora Bora drum album to my audio man for conversion to MP3, but (and this is true) he lately came down with a case of the hives. Who the hell gets hives these days? But he did; his doc said it was probably stress. He runs his own audio-restoration business and he's had deadlines to meet. Favors for friends take a back seat.

But I promise I will post those beats ASAP.

Please visit my friend's operation at www.osirisstudio.com Check out his "projects" page. He has a dream job that, while maybe giving him hives, gives him income and personal satisfaction.
