Not entirely sure of the origins of the Lucio Barbosa Group but clearly the settled in Spain although their sound is more Cuban. Nice cover of Oye Como Va and El Cumbanchero.

Very consistent sixties European only latin recording that originally came out as 10" in France. Pretty much back-to-back dancefloor friendly stuff with Rio Bamba or La Suppa Del Pichon just a few starting pointers. V...

Not as hard hitting as one has come to expect from the Egyptian band leader but still a good few Cha Cha Cha and Samba groovers on here. Nice copy with strong EX cover and weak EX disc (plays perfect).

Another sixties Euro only latin album with main focus of Cha Cha Cha but there are two good Merengue grooves on here and even a Calypso track. Check Guarachero for starters. Record with marks but solid playback.

Allegro sixties compilation filled with dancefloor fun from one of the most consistent band leaders of the era. Contigo, Mi Merengue, La Empaliza and much more.

Late fifties mono original including two essential latin DJ grooves in Mississippi Mambo and Norin-Noron. Instant floorfillers. Record in stunning EX shape, cover has a little wear and tear on front and to corners.

Excellent latin and brazil tinged jazz by the Dick Crouch led British jazz-funk unit. Very consistent with highlights in Night Bird and the floorfriendly Cravo E Canela. Record is spotless, cover has small rip to front.

Two track album to me unless you are into traditional Cuban cancion. Poblina De Las Serenatas and Son De Ida Y Vuelta are both good melodic floor friendly son dancers. Seldom seen Cuban original on Siboney with record...

Adalberto Alvarez backed by the always steady Conjunto Son 14 this is a fantastic Cuban dancefloor bomp with stacks of heat for playing out. Check Agua Que Cae Del Ciero. Record in solid EX shape, cover with faint rin...

Juan Formell and the Orquesta Los Van Van getting busy as one would expect by one of Cuba's musical power houses. A bit of everything here but teh Son dancers stand out to my ear. Start with Habla Claro Camara for a f...

Cracking set of latin dancers by the mighty Irakere led by Chucho Valdes and German Velazco. Consistent affair with almost all tracks here worth a go with El Tata and 12 y 23 my personal favorites. Fragile cover is no...

Not many solo efforts by Nile Rodgers partner and Chic founder Bernard Edwards around but here is a real jam by the genius. Your Love Is Good To Me on nice extended US promo pressing. Like new copy with company sleeve...

Top tune by close Ray Parker Jr friend and Raydio partner on a solo tip. One of his finest moments to my ear. US promo pressing in stunning EX++ condition, could pass for NM.

Fantastic slow jam from their rare Get In Touch album on Solar. Rare US promo in EX to NM condition and company sleeve.

Great 80s funk jam from their highly recommended debut album. Check the fantastic synth heavy instrumental flip. US promo only release in lovely shape.

Marvelous soul tune by Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes. I would actually rate it is one of their finest. Power Of Love on the flipside. Super loud promo pressing in superb EX condition and fitted in ABC company sleeve.

New York styled disco that sounds like something Patrick Adams would have mastered. For fans of the Paradise Garage anthems. Spotless copy in correct 20th Century Disco jacket.

Killer electro funk by the New York disco queen. Andy Barret producing and he also takes charge of the excellent mix. Rare US promo with instrumental flipside. Like new copy.

Essential breakbeat forty five sampled by Large Pro, Pete Rock and famously by DJ Muggs on the all time classic Cypress Hill joint Latin Lingo. Super rare promo press in VG shape, some marks causing light crackle. Bo...

Funky jazz rock by Steve Miller Band drummer Tim Davis on a solo tip. Clean EX copy in Metromedia company sleeve.
