Recordando A Felipe Pirela

LP (Item 581982) Fania, 1979 — Condition: Very Good+
A tribute to the famous romantic singer Felipe Pierela – once known as the Bolero Star Of The Americas! Given Hector LaVoe's warmth and charisma at the time, he was a perfect choice for such a project – and working here with producer Willie Colon, Hector steps into an older mode of Latin music – yet one that also sparkles with some of the more sophisticated contemporary touches that Colon was bringing to his own work of the period. Arrangements are by Louie Cruz, Carlos Franzetti, and Jorge Calandrelli, and titles include "Sombras Nada Mas", "Vieja Carta", "El Infierno", "Pobre Del Pobre", and "Castigo".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Sunrise label pressing. Cover has light edge wear, faint stain on the lower corner.)

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.
