A very mad set of tracks from Ernie Agosto and the decidedly off-center La Conspiracion group. At its core, the album has a salsa groove – but many tracks feature Ernie and the group cutting it up in unusual ways, with slight touches of humor, and some offbeat instrumentation that really ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The only album ever issued by this wicked Latin funk group from the 70s – a rare set from the Fania side of the universe, and one that features production by the mighty Ray Barretto! There's definitely some elements of Nuyorican soul going on here – but the album also echoes some of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Original pressing. Cover has light wear, vinyl is nice and clean.)
A fantastic pairing of talents – one that seems to push each individual artist to a new high point in their career!

(Original pressing. Cover has a small cutout hole, but is otherwise great.)
A classic early album from Larry Harlow's flute-playing brother – a set that grooves along with the trademark family groove, but which also has a fair bit of sensitive moments as well! There's a jazzier style here than on some of the classic Orchestra Harlow albums – one that comes not ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The groove here is heavy on the Fender Rhodes – and Mongo uses the electric keys in all the right ... read moreCD
