Ambergris —
Ambergris ... LP Paramount, Early 70s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
A genre-busting batch of tunes from Ambergris – a group with styles that range from Memphis soul, to New York Latin, to some of the heavier sides of the underground rock scene of the time!

Flying Dutchman, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
Lost Latin funk from the Bay Area scene of the 70s – and an album that may well blow away better-known work by groups like Malo, Azteca, or El Chicano! The album's near-perfect right from the start – and brings in plenty of New York elements to the groove, thanks to the inclusion of a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
RCA, 1959. Very Good ... $6.99

Crown, Late 50s. Sealed ... $4.99
We don't know much about Dave Bacal, but we do know that this is a nice album of Latiny groovers, played by Dave on the Hammond, with backing that has a good percussive sound. The style's a mix of Latin and Exotica, and since the record was recorded in the Hollywood scene of the 50s, you can ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fania, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
One of Ray Barretto's hardest-hitting salsa albums of the 70s – a raw set of grooves that's got Ray moving away from the playfulness of the Latin Soul years, into a more righteous mode that's easily guessed at from the title of the set!

Fania, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
An early 70s killer from Ray – recorded right in the same era as most of his best albums!

And like the best of his 60s work, Ray's salsa cooks at a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Concord, 1992/1993. Used ... $9.99

TNT, 2019. New Copy ... $11.99

Art works here in a large group that mixes contemporary modes and ... (Jazz, Latin) read more CD
Acid Symposium, 1972. New Copy ... $4.99
An insanely wonderful bit of Latin funk! The groove is super heavy, and falls somewhere in between NuYorican soul and Chicano Power rock – with a sound that's pretty close to Black Sugar, but a little bit more psychedelic, due to the heavy guitars and keyboards in the grooves. Hard congas ... read more CD

Time, 1962. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the few albums ever issued as a leader by the great Joe Cain – a wonderful Latin arranger with a really mad ear for a groove!
