Tito Allen —
Untouchable ... CD Alegre, 1979. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Tito Allen almost seems to be borrowing a page from the Willie Colon book with his gangster look on the cover of this one – and in a way, the record's got the same sense of soaring energy you'd hear in Willie's best post-gangster work from this time! But thanks here are really due to Louie ... read more CD

Acid Symposium, 1972. New Copy ... $4.99
An insanely wonderful bit of Latin funk!
