Alegre All Stars —
Way Out – Vol 4 ... LP 
Alegre, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Smoking descarga work from this legendary group – a fantastic mix of Latin rhythms and jazz – with players who include Charlie Palmieri on piano, Kako and Orlando Marin on timbales, Barry Rogers on trombone, and Jose Chombo Silva on tenor sax! Vocals are by an equally all-star group ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Nice 60s blue label mono pressing! Vinyl is very clean, but just has a short click in one spot – and cover has some light pen, but is very nice too.)
Angel Canales —
Sabor (180 gram pressing) ... LP Alegre/Craft, 1975. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Possibly the greatest album ever from Angel Canales – a 70s salsa classic through and through, and one with great links between the New York scene and Canales' Puerto Rican roots! The tunes are wonderfully heartfelt throughout – sung with a youthful sense of soul that's far different ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charlie Palmieri & His Charanga La Duboney —
Viva Palmieri ... LP Alegre, 1962. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An album with a fantastic-looking cover – and one with a fantastic-sounding vibe as well – early work from Latin piano great Charlie Palmieri, recorded at a time when he seemed to be working equally strongly in both Latin music and jazz! Charlie's working here with his excellent La ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charlie Palmieri and his Duboney Orchestra —
Tengo Maquina y Voya 60 ... LP Alegre, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Hard to find Charlie Palmieri classic. One of his tight early albums with his Duboney Orchestra, and vocals by Victor Velazquez. Tracks include the mambos "Tengo Maquina Y Voy A Sesenta" and "La Timba Es Mia", plus a few guaguancos and "Son Sasonao", a son montuno. ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charlie Palmieri Y Su Charanga La Duboney —
Pachanga At The Caravana Club ... LP Alegre, 1962. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Killer early 60s work by Charlie Palmieri and his La Duboney group – a combo who were Charlie's equivalent to the La Perfecta lineup headed by Eddie Palmieri! Like that group, this one has a very sharp, modern approach to the Cuban style – one that's inflected by a deep knowledge of ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Charlie Palmieri Y Su Orquesta —
Vuelve El Gigante ... LP Alegre, 1973. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A hard to find Charlie Palmieri album from the early 70's – released on Alegre, and with a crack set of arrangements by Charlie, Sonny Bravo, and Tito Puente. The tracks are all fairly short – except for the long take on Arsenio Rodriguez' "El Guaya Catalina" – but as ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing, in nice shape.)
Eddie Palmieri —
La Perfecta (remastered edition) ... CD 
Alegre/Fania, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
The legendary debut of Eddie Palmieri on record – a set of tracks recorded with his famous La Perfecta ensemble – a really unique group that also features bossa legend Joao Donato on trombone! The group's got a hard-hitting feel that marked a real shift in Latin styles at the time ... (Latin) read more CD
(2007 remastered edition.)
Alegre, 1968. Very Good+ ... $24.99
An amazing follow up to Ricardo Ray's first album of Jala Jala and Boogaloo tracks – a real killer Latin soul set that's even better than the first! The record's got a full-on style that kicks in from the very first note – a blend of uptight Latin tracks and some very groovy 60s-styled ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s pressing. Cover has light wear, and a piece of tape on the top – vinyl is nice.)
Ricardo Ray —
Let's Get Down To The Real Nitty Gritty ... LP Alegre, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A very wild album from Ricardo Ray – sort of a mix of Latin soul styles in the mode of work by Mongo Santamaria, but a lot more messed up! The album's got a number of 60s soul covers – but they're done here by Ricardo in kind of a party Latin mode, touched with a bit of garage soul ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pete Rodriguez —
I Like It Like That (A Mi Me Gusta Asi) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Alegre/Craft, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A fantastic little album of Latin Soul – a perfect example of why Pete was known as the "King Of The Boogaloo" during the 60s! The group's having a non-stop party on the album – breaking it hard with heavy piano lines, rumbling bass underneath the grooves, tight timbales, and ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Latin Boogaloo ... LP Alegre, 1966. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A killer album by the self-appointed King Of The Boogaloo! Pete's late 60s sides for Alegre are some really incredible records – and this album's one of the best of the bunch, stuffed with tight groovy tracks that really have the whole band going to town! Percussion steps around piano, bass ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original mono pressing. Cover has some light tape and some light pen – but this is a nice clean copy overall.)
Pete Rodriguez —
Oh That's Nice – Ay Que Bueno ... LP Alegre, Late 60s. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Oh That's Nice – indeed! Pete Rodriguez and crew serve up one of their best albums ever – a non-stop boogaloo party that gets you from the word "go"! The title track kicks off the set with an incredibly catchy hook dancing over these dark piano parts – and the rest of ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Alegre, 1968. Very Good ... $22.99
Hot and wild – two of the best words you could use to describe the late 60s Latin Soul material of Pete Rodriguez – especially on an album like this! This album has Pete and his combo at their best – stepping effortlessly between English-language, soul-based tracks – and ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
