Perdido

LP (Item 4487) Alegre, 1977 — Condition: Very Good+
Nice album of some of the fantastic jamming by this great band of some of the best musicians who ever recorded for Alegre Records. The group includes Kako, Bobby Rodriguez, Charlie Palmieri, Louie Ramirez, and a whole bunch of other great Latin Jazz players – and the album includes some great long descarga tracks, like "Perdido", "Y Yo Ganga", and "Agusese Usted". Very nice, and the kind of classic Latin material that still sounds very fresh today!  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(70s pressing – a nice copy!)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight 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.
