(Items 1 – 22 of 22)
Columbia, 1994. Used ... $5.99
A great return to form for the legendary Cachao – and a session that seeks to recapture the Cuban Jam Session energy of his recordings from a few decades before! Production is by Andy Garcia, and is somewhat more sentimental than in the old days – although certainly still free from any ... read more CD

Columbia, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
... LP, Vinyl record album
(6 eye pressing. Cover has some wear with partially split seams.)
Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good ... $1.99
One of Cugie's more popular albums – and a record that has him re-recording older hits for the hi-fi generation. There's not that much hi and fi on the record, as the groove's pretty much in the older style – but the newer recordings were done in a stereo setting, which makes for a bit ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono 6 eye pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and aging, small seam splits, and a name in pen on back.)
Columbia, Mid 50s. Very Good ... $11.99
Classic stuff from Cugie, with a mix of tracks in different rhythms – from mambo, to rhumba, to Afro-Cuban, to guaracha. Titles include "Bim Bam Bum", "Good, Good, Good", "Oye Negra", "Cuba Libre", and "Babalu". LP, Vinyl record album
(Dark red label pressing with the silver text & the deep groove.)

Fania All Stars —
Que Pasa – The Best Of The Fania All Stars ... CD Columbia, Late 70s. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Some of the best of the best of The Fania All Stars – magical music from that short stint when the combo were recording for Columbia Records in the late 70s! While at Columbia, the group grew even more than the styles of their roots at the Fania label – picking up some hipper touches ... read more CD
Fania All-Stars —
Rhythm Machine ... LP Columbia/Fania, 1977. Very Good- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the proudest moments of the New York Latin underground – a time when some of its best players wound up playing for Columbia, through a brief affiliation between Fania and the larger label! And although you might think that the album would totally sell out the group's best points, it's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mexican Fania pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Charly Garcia —
Parte De La Religion ... LP CBS (Argentina), 1987. Very Good ... $29.99
... LP, Vinyl record album
(Mexican pressing on Columbia. Vinyl has a mark that clicks a bit at the beginning of Side 1.)
Columbia, 1979. Very Good Gatefold ... $11.99
A landmark album from this powerhouse Cuban group of the 70s – their first record issued formally to an American market, and quite possibly their greatest effort of the decade! The sound here is a lot more focused than on the group's Cuban sessions from previous years – not commercial ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label promo. Cover has a tracklist sticker and a gold promo stamp on the back.)
Columbia, Late 50s. Very Good ... $4.99
Joe and his crazy piano are at the head of another lively set of Latin numbers – piano driven all the way, with some heavy percussion to make things groove! Tracks include "Loco Motion", "Tremendo Cha-Cha-Cha", "Paso Merengue", "Mama Inez", "Baion ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono 6 eye pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Columbia, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $24.99
Hard early work by Joe Loco – featuring the piano fo the mad genius set in spare striking percussion arrangements with some occasional extra horn playing. The best cuts have Joe really going to town on the keys, playing strange choppy little solos that are filled with the kind of imagination ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White label pressing – with deep groove!)
Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good- ... $11.99
Insanely wonderful Latin soul album recorded by Frank Owens that has the surprising (and goofy) bonus of being a Latiny rendition of the hit musical Oliver! Don't be put off by that cockney musical aspect of the source material, though – because the sound here is great New York Latin Soul, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing.)
Columbia, 1965. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A really pivotal album in the career of Mongo Santamaria – one that has Mongo stripping down the groove, kicking up some jazz, and mixing together soulful styles that brought him to the top of the Latin crowd of the 1960s! There's a tightness here that goes beyond any of Santamaria's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono 2 eye pressing.)
Mongo Santamaria —
Mongomania ... LP Columbia, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Killer Latin soul from Mongo, and a great batch of original tracks, played by a groovy little combo that includes Bobby Capers on alto, Ray Maldonado on trumpet, and a young Hubert Laws on flute, who also did some of the arrangements! The sound is hard, tight, and jazzy – with the kind of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(360 Sound stereo pressing. Cover has a cut corner and some wear.)
Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Mongo Santamaria at the height of his Latin Soul years – working on a cool Columbia session titled after an earlier hit, but served up with his new lean sound of the late 60s! The album's got that perfect Santamaria combo from the time – a group that features trumpet and these ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo 360 Sound pressing.)
Santana —
Lotus ... LP Columbia, 1975. Near Mint- 3LP Gatefold ... $49.99
A great live Santana set, recorded in Japan in '73 and never released on vinyl in the US! The band here is at their peak, and this set features a nice large lineup that includes Tom Coster, Richard Kermode, Doug Rauch, Armando Peraza, Jose Chepito Areas and Michael Shreve, plus Leon Thomas on ...

(180 gram Friday Music pressing. Includes insert.)
Columbia, 1969. Near Mint- ... $11.99
A crossover Latin Funk classic – with the kind of soaring guitar/organ grooves that were the brilliant sound of the 70s for the West Coast scene, a whole new way of playing Latin Soul that blew away the New York sound of the late 70s. Titles include "Persuasion", "Evil ... (Rock, Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
