Hustler (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Fania/Craft, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99 24.99
Brilliant early work from a young Willie Colon – a true hustler if there ever was one!

Beautiful brown-eyed soul from the Ohio scene of the 70s – just the sort of record you might have expected to hear from East LA or Spanish Harlem back in the day – but even more amazing to come from Cleveland!

Alegre All Stars Vol 1 ... CD Alegre, Early 60s. Used ... $19.99

My Fair Lady Goes Latin ... LP Roulette, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A pretty darn nice album of Latin tracks – despite the obvious cheeseball theme of the record.
