You might wanna try looking out for some of the original Salsoul Orchestra
albums if you're into this stuff. AFter hearing Nuyorican Soul, I found a
copy of one of their albums called Magic Journey ... a bit cheesy in parts,
but it has some great stuff too. I was in fact pretty surprised by how
faithfully the tune Runaway was reproduced by nuyorican soul - they sure
didn't change much! Not that they had too, it's a great tune....
