Best Of Pete Rodriguez/Lo Mejor De Pete Rodriguez

LP (Item 11300) Tico, Late 60s — Condition: Very Good
Nice compilation that features Pete's best boogaloo tracks from the late 60s. Cuts include "Pete's Boogaloo", "Bobby", "I Like It Like That", "Micaela", "People Want To Know", "Fango", "Soy El Ray", "Cata Con Tata", "Arranca En Fa" and more. A groovy boogaloo party all the way through, with lots of stuff that's very hard to find on wax!  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

With selections by Tito Puente, Nelson Y Sus Estrellas, Ruben Blades, Joe Cuba Sextet, Los Kenya, Eddie Palmieri, Cheche Mendoza, and La Sonora Poncena. LP, Vinyl record album
Tico, 1963. Near Mint-
An excellent set from Willie – recorded in the years before he moved to Verve, with a very different sound! The Willie Bobo here is less of the pop instrumentalist on some of his later sides – and is more of a hard-hitting Latin leader with a heck of a lot of soul. There's an early ...

Cortijo y Su Combo con Ismael Rivera

Baile Con Cortijo
Tropical, 1958. Very Good-
Killer combo work from the legendary Cortijo – and just the kind of set to show why he was easily one of the sharpest Latin leaders of the 60s! The emphasis here is on heavy rhythms – the sort that set the dancefloor on fire right from the start, but keep things compelling through a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ecue – Ritmos Cubanos (OJC pressing)
Pablo/OJC, 1978. Near Mint-
A strangely wonderful Latin set with a very drum-heavy approach! Cuban percussionist Walfredo plays in a large group with Louie Belson on the regular kit and "moog drum" – and the rest of the group features strong Latin players like Francisco Aguabella, Clare Fischer, Emil Richards ...

Fania All-Stars

Viva La Charanga
Fania, 1986. Very Good+
The Fania All Stars pay tribute to a form that inspired many of its players – but which faded from Latin vogue before the group was properly formed in the late 60s. The session's a nice bit of retro Latin, with some strong late era salsa touches. Titles include "Guajira Con Tumbao" ... LP, Vinyl record album
