Sound is MUCH better than the MP3 downloads I owned previously. Unfortunately, the cover is badly water-damaged. But still... better a damaged cover than a damaged record.

Second hand salsa records in good condition are a rare thing. All my salsa LPs are a wreck save for the reissues. Not as bad as reggae, but close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now spinnin' I have this and bought it after I had bought the "Charles Mingus Quintet plus Max Roach" with the same personnel and recording date. Then, I was a bit disappointed since the title "plus Max Roach" let me expect that there will be two drummers. That was in 1978, the same year I saw Max Roach for the first time life.

Not as bad as reggae, but close. You're right. ... And it's probably just a matter of scarcity (not that many made in the first place), but I'm discovering that many Latin records are expensive too -- compared to most jazz records. Both LPs and CDs. But they're worth it! 5 hours ago, mjazzg said: Which just goes to suggest that the Salsa and Reggae albums get played a lot more... I dunno if it's solely a function of frequency. I bet salsa or reggae records are much more likely be played at parties, where folks (not necessarily the owner) are likely to spill their drink on the cover or scratch the vinyl lifting the tonearm. Jazz? As often than not, it's solo listening. So there's less likelihood that the album cover is used as a beer coaster. I would say that the records get treated differently because the music is designed for different contexts. 2 hours ago, Rabshakeh said: None of which explains why LPs from these two genres always appear to have been stored underwater.

I had both in a twoofer back then. I have both in the debut box set. I bought both in vinyl, Japan, lately. Think they are my fave “quintet like “ Mingus.
