Breaking The Sound Barrier – Rompiendo La Barrera Del Sonido

LP (Item 426444) Chicago Caribbean Arts, 1983 — Condition: Near Mint-
An amazingly smoking set from trumpeter Arturo Sandoval – issued on a tiny label from Chicago, but easily one of his best records ever! The set captures Sandoval live in the Windy City, working with a tight combo that includes piano, guitar, and plenty of percussion – all stretched out on some extended tracks that give all members of the group plenty of space to groove around. Tracks are mostly upbeat and lively – save for one odd blues number – and the album's filled with hard Latin jazz groovers in a descarga mode! Titles include "Estoy Para'o", "On Green Dolphin Street", "Regando Flores", "En Nosotros", and "Regando Flores".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has a light corner bend.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is 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 as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
