The Word: Funky Latin soul & Fania hits, also classic, rare, NY Latin from the '50s & early '60s.

Alfredito [Teenagers Dance Chop Suey Mambo] EP; RCA Victor EPA-4201; 1st/only N/N $110 (or E/E+ $75, specify) -- Latin vibes; one of the rarest Alfredito items!; reissues Rainbow but even Alfredito completists w/the tunes on Rainbow will want it for the rare "Cha Cha His Majesty" (here in clean hi-fi sound), at least, not to mention the artwork; what's the story with the "Teenagers Dance" packaging?--evidently Victor figured "oriental Latin" could be a good novelty sound for mainstream youth (typical major-label mishandling of great Latin!); Chop Suey Mambo, Cha Cha Cha (Mi Musica Es Para Ti--Rene Touzet), Cha Cha His Majesty, Las Muchachitas del Cha Cha Cha

Mario Allison y su Combo: Bamba Cure/Louie Louie; J&G 8063; N- $40 -- Latin soul/Latin jazz; the leading such act (guaracha/boogaloo) from Peru!; "Louie Louie" cover features good horn solos (better than the Pete Terrace version, for instance)

Fabian Andre: Rumbas Vol. 1; Fiesta FEP-1001 (Bembelem, Rumor Tropical, Magdalena, Pokeron) AND:

Fabian Andre: Rumbas Vol. 2; Fiesta FEP-1004 (La Perrita, El Marijuano, Latin Magic, El Conejo Flojo) $20/pair! (both in E-/E- shape)

The Harvey Averne Dozen: The Micro Mini/My Dream; Atlantic 2505; 1968; E+ $40 -- Latin soul/sweet soul; from the great Viva Soul LP, the 7" is even more of a rare prize; A-side is the uptempo swinger (one of the LP's 2 best cuts); B-side is a ballad for the sweet-soul crowd

Harvey Averne: Come Back Baby/Stand; Fania 518; N- $30 -- Latin soul/funky vibes from the totally hip & rare LP "Brotherhood"; both sides a stone groove & of course "Stand" is the Sly & Family Stone hit, done very well!

The Harvey Averne Band: Let's Get it Together this Christmas (Averne)/Christmas Song (Mel Torme); Fania 551; white-label promo E $50 -- Latin soul/Christmas A-side a great funky boogaloo vocal in English; B-side multi-tempo vibes-rock w/barking "Scottie Dog" (who appears later on the awesome "Toro" LP!); impossibly rare & not on any LP!!!; all pressings seem to have have slight noise (hardly noticeable except on B-side), but it's clean/unplayed, recently recovered store stock--last one!

Joe Bataan: Uptown/Obatala; Fania 483; N $30 -- Latin soul; as new tho w/some rub wear on the B-side label; from 1972's incredibly rare (& terrific!) Poor Boy LP--single's also very scarce, never mind mint!

Joe Bataan: Latin Strut/Peace, Friendship, & Solidarity; Mericana M-7157; 1974; 1st press N $30 -- Latin soul; unplayed & in the original Mericana sleeve (released also as a Victor single, oddly enough)

Joe Cain: Easter Parade (Cha-Cha-Cha)/Alexander's Ragtime Band (Samba); Seeco 6020; white-label promo N $15 (any 5 $15 items for $50)

Candido: Madrid/Back to Back (Belly to Belly); Tico T-470; white-label promo N $25 -- top stuff (A-side co-written w/Puente; B-side calypso-jazz) from the great, scarce "Brujerias de Candido/Candido's Latin McGuffa's Dust" LP

El Chicano: I'm in Love With.../same; Columbia 38-04551; 1984; white-label promo N- S FREE for the asking with any order

Johnny Colon: Boogaloo Blues Parts 1 & 2; Cotique CO-108; E+ $20 -- Latin soul; smash hit mentions hippies, LSD, whatnot; a classic, laidback, stone groover for that Latin-soul jukebox of the gods

Xavier Cugat Hall of Fame Series EP; Columbia B-2510 (Xavier Cugat w/Aladdin & the Boyd Triplets: Come to the Mardi Gras/Miami Beach Rhumba; Xavier Cugat: Mambo No. 5/Mambo No. 8); N- $15 (any 5 $15 items for $50) -- we find the cover of Prado's "Mambo #5" nowhere else in our collection, so to us at least it's worth it just for that

Xavier Cugat: Jungle Flute/Blue Tango; Mercury 5817-X45; V+ $25 -- exotica/"novelty rhumba"; for the exotica or Cugat collector, it's a rare find (left off the 12" LP that reissues a rare 10" LP); similar to "Flute Nightmare" on the Ole LP but with vital animal cries (the novelty in "novelty rhumba" as it's listed on the 10")

Xavier Cugat: Rock Moruno/Rock of the Hours (based on Dance of the Hours); RCA Victor 47-7615; N $20 -- Latin rock/exotic rock; w/bird sounds on Rock Moruno!; not on LP & much hipper than anything else he did for Victor! (perhaps our favorite Cugie single)

Orquesta Egrem EP; Areito EP 7015; small-hole center E S $25 -- Cuban/strings/mod; instrumental, rare, good tho made for export; orchestra led by Juan Pablo Torres; En el Sendero de Mi Vida/Siboney, Quiereme Mucho/Amorosa Guajira

Esquivel: Whatchamacallit/I Feel Merely Marvelous; --7" 45--; RCA Victor 47-7462; N $40 (or E $30, specify) -- wordless chorus; the A-side is one of his 2 or 3 greatest hits from an LP, but it's prized even more for the rare, non-LP B-side

Esquivel & his Sonorama Orchestra: Amor/Nocturnal --7" 45--; RCA Victor 47-6008 (Record Prevue P-499-7); 1957; white-label promo E+ $20 ppd. -- recorded in Mexico; rare & superior to his later stereo/US LP works; that's right, "Sonorama"--something you won't find on his LPs

Esquivel: Latin-Esque EP (Compact 33 rpm); RCA Victor VLP-2418; 1962 (Latin-Esque, Cachito, La Paloma, Jungle Drums, Estrellita, Carioca) in Pepsi picture sleeve E+ S $75 -- very rare format in equally scarce Pepsi "Music for Those Who Think Young" sleeve; intense Stereo Action for the jukebox of the gods!

Gilberto Sextet: Good Lovin'/Please Don't Stop; Cotique CO-103; 1966; promo(!!!) N $40 -- Latin soul/vibes; wow!; from the very first, super-rare Cotique LP (The Groovy Sounds of the Gilberto Sextet; Cotique C-1001), it's the Rascals hit & one of Gilberto Cruz's own; perfect-promo-hot-rare!

Harlem River Drive: Idle Hands (Pt. 1)/mono; Roulette R-7116; promo N-* S/M $40 -- from the classic, monster, soul-jazz LP by Eddie Palmieri, it's the first nearly 4 minutes in stereo (rare enough on 45) & (rarer still) mono!; *label slightly torn on 1 side, otherwise gorgeous

Ray Jay & the Eastsiders: Searchin' for Love/I Love You; Cotique C- ; 1970; N- $40 -- Latin soul/sweet soul; w/Elliot Chiprut; rare single from rare one-off LP (serious prize for the Cotique collector); style similar to Ralfi Pagan

Eartha Kitt & Perez Prado: Fredy/Sweet & Gentle; RCA Victor 47-6138; 1958 (w/Perez Prado) N $20

Machito: Tibiri Tabara/Quimbombo; Tico 361; E+ $18

Sabu Martinez Trio: Jag Vill Tro/(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay; Mallwax MAL-5003; 1968; E- S $150 -- jazz (not Latin); his only 45, made when fresh off the plane in Sweden, also the only instance of "Sabu Martinez Trio"; Jukebox-of-the-Gods rare & even stereo!

Alfredo Mendez Dance Orchestra: La Enganadora/Silver Star; SMC Pro-Arte 1323; E+ $15 (any 5 $15 items for $50) -- legendary label, clean, cheap!

Alfredo Mendez Dance Orchestra: Chivirico/Quien Sera?; SMC Pro-Arte 1324; N- $18 -- legendary label, clean, cheap!

Ralfi Pagan: Negrona/Mi Camaco; Fania 568; N- $25 -- Latin/sweet soul; 2 tunes from the super-rare original version of With Love/Con Amor LP (recommended w/the revised version of the LP above)

Tito Puente: Mambo on Broadway EP; RCA Victor EPB-3164; 2-disc gatefold E-/E+ $50 -- the early killer/classic; loud, proud, & a total smoker!; rare as the dickens in top shape & original/hi-fi (the 10" never is & the 12" reissue is very scarce); all 8 tunes as on the 10"; Ran Kan Kan, Cao-Cao Mani Picao, El Baile del Pinguino, Picadillo..

Tito Puente: Mambos EP; Tico EP 32; V+/E- $50 -- mambo/vibes; rare!; Philadelphia Mambo, The Carioca, 1626 Madison Avenue, Cool Mambo

Bobby Quesada: Tu Tienes dos Caras/El Regalito; Fania 470; N- $35 -- Latin soul, rare

Hector Rivera: At the Party/Do It To Me; Barry BRY-1011; N $40 (or orange N $30, specify) (or E- $20, specify) (or V+ $15, specify) -- Latin boogaloo; smash hit single from his LP of the same name, a party classic; worn-out copies abound, but clean is another story

Ray Rivera: Got My Mojo Workin'/Salt Mines; MGM LAT-3001; 1970; E $20 -- Latin soul; hip, rare, funky cuts (vocal/instr.) from "The Now Sound of the Ray Rivera Orchestra"; all-star arrangers Mauricio Smith, Ray Maldonado, Jack Hitchcock, Eddie Martinez!; probably also Pucho on percussion; heavy sound--DEEP BASS!; abrasion scratches (not needle wear) look like they'd affect the start of "Mojo" but it plays nearly noiselessly--priced accordingly but it's a winner

Ray Rivera: Guava/Hard Hats; MGM LAT-3005; 1970; yellow-label promo N $40 -- Latin soul; hip, rare, funky instrumentals from "The Now Sound of the Ray Rivera Orchestra"; all-star arrangers Mauricio Smith, Ray Maldonado, Jack Hitchcock, Eddie Martinez!; probably also Pucho on percussion; heavy sound--DEEP BASS!

Ralph Robles: Montuniando/Mercie; Fania 467; E $20 -- Latin soul/Latin; unplayed, bought out from an old record store; Robles is one of the major names & all of his records are hard to find (esp. clean)

Al Romero: Modern Latin Moods; RCA Victor EPA-548; 1954; 1st/only press V+/V+ $20 -- Latin jazz; obscure early one by the Venezuelan master (presented on RCA by Tito Puente); you may know his other '50s RCA work, but this is really progressive Latin jazz, and it's fantastic!; Keep It Gay, Too Marvelous for Words, The Nearness of You, Oriental Rumba

Mongo Santamaria: Funny Man/There is a Mountain; Columbia 4-44886; white-label promo E- $15 (any 5 $15 items for $50) -- great for the funky A-side, but collectors should want the live B-side (Donovan tune)--not on LP!

Monguito Santamaria: Todo es Todo/Sueno Contigo; Fania 557; N- $30 -- Latin soul/Latin; "Todo es Todo" is one of the uptempo, hot tracks from the Blackout LP (one of the great rarities of Fania)

Somethin' Cool (Voices in Latin) -- see Jazz 45s

Bobby Valentin: Huracan/El Mensajero; Fania 556; white-label promo E+ $20 -- from one of his rarest LPs, "Algo Nueva/Something New"

Latin CDs (all postpaid)

Joe Bataan: Poor Boy; Sonido 1998 (reissues Fania SLP-371; 1971) N $20 -- Latin soul; one of his rarest--when the LP does turn up, it's usually off-grade mono at best; this CD is a nice production from over a decade ago that we had to go to Spanish Harlem to acquire

Manny Bolone & his Latin Boys: Boogaloo; Boogaloo 9001; CDR --trade only-- one of the very rarest Latin-soul LPs, totally obscure & on unknown label, never turns up this clean!; great covers of major Alegre/Cotique/Fania hits; w/color insert of jacket scan; Bad Breath, I Like it Like That, Boogaloo Blues, Sabroso Boogaloo, Guajira con Boogaloo, A Gozar el Boogaloo, Pa' La Luna, Micoela; TERMS: for swap only, for a similar CDR of rarities on our Latin wantlist, such as Fonseca, Ghetto, Ray Terrace (see below)

Eddie Palmieri: Harlem River Drive; Rhino/Scorpio circa 2002 (reissues Roulette SR-3004; 1971) N $10 -- soul jazz; a stone classic; unlike the LP reissue which they screwed up (we pointed it out), the CD is in full sound, as it should be (the LP had severe clipping, probably because Rhino remastered for digital and the lunkheads who reissued it later failed to discern the difference or in any case reconvert it for analog); bottom line: save yourself the $150 needed for an original LP and hear it this way, in top sound (no clipping)

Mongo Santamaria: Afro American Latin --CD--; Sony/CBS/Legacy; 2000/1969; S $12 -- previously unreleased (except one from All Strung Out); 9 studio & 5 live cuts; his final Columbia work!; Obatala, Boogaloo Wow, Naked if You Want to, Mambo Leah, Me & You Baby..
