Tower/Harkit (UK), Late 60s. Used ... $16.99
Madly romping Latin from this obscure group led by pianist Phil Moore III – a combo who effortlessly groove through a blend of boogaloo, Latin jazz, and plenty of percussion-heavy exotica – all in a style that's very much their own!

The wildly diverse, heavily percussive global jazz, soul, and exotica inspired Afrodesia from the late 60s combo Afro Soultet – a crazy rare one, too!

Tchip Tchip – Electronic System Vol 3 ... CD RKM/Real Gone, 1974. New Copy ... $12.99 13.99
