Please reconsider. :) It is my favourite Latin record. Anabacoa is my favourite track.

I like the version of "Cuba Linda" on there quite a bit, but, I don't know, I just can't get into the overall album that much.
What other Latin do you like? Maybe you could dredge up one of my salsa threads and add it there (not that all Latin music is salsa). How much have you heard? I'm afraid to ask, because I'm afraid I'm going to hear something like, "Well, actually I have a small Latin collection of about 500 albums," compared to my 80 or so.

While you're at it, also get the two Leroy Burgess anthologies that came out on Soul Brother in 2002 -- they have the 12" versions of the Logg singles, along with Black Ivory's "Mainline," Class Action's "Weekend," Fonda Rae's "Over Like a Fat Rat," Convertion's "Let's Do It," the Fantastic Aleems' "Get Down Friday Night," etc. If you have a few of these songs, it's no matter. Get them anyway.

I picked up Grandmaster Flash Presents Salsoul Jam 2000 in Tokyo this weekend (on cd). Has anyone heard this? I'm a bit of a newcomer to the Salsoul label but there's some great stuff on here. Really well mixed / presented by Flash. However, they must have recorded it in front of a live audience because there's some very annoying wooping and hollering throughout the mix. The cd sleeve has a cool hologram style pic of Flash mixing which nearly makes up for it.

There are actually a lot of duds in the Salsoul catalog, but "Jingo," "Love Sensation" and "Let No Man Put Asunder" more than make up.

Just found this, and it's (mostly) really good and chock full of classics:

and the "disco blending" is done by Walter Gibbons himself.

It's taken quarantine to make me realize Up the Yellow Brick Road is a slept on album by Salsoul Orchestra. The "West Side Story Medley" just slams so joyously, and then on side 2 there's a Fiddler on the Roof medley. Also they're doing a disco "Sgt. Pepper" before the Bee Gees presumably.
