Thanks! I just saw it on DustyGroove and upon looking at the image of the
cover realized that it's one of Those Ones... u know... those records u
always see and know they must be really dope cos they cost an arm and a
leg! Me thinks me shall snag the reissue...
While were on the subject... can u ID another funky boogie stormer for
me... this one has I believe Celia Cruz singing vocals but it's not words.
Something like Chimbalaka Chimbalaka tim ba ba. Very funky, very
danceable, even by non-salsa dancers, though the salsa groove in it is
strong too...
thanks ! ! !! nice to see you surface on the list here Jason !!
(I admit, I been lurking too ... too much spam to battle to spend time
with the email that I *should* sit and read! )
