love the album, didn't buy the vinyl was wondering if it was just a CD rip? (didn't look to have much about the process)
how does it sound?
also, that seems like one of those RSD releases that's gonna be in stores forever

It sounds fine, but could very well be a CD rip. If you're looking for "it's like hearing the album again for the first time" levels of remastering or something, this definitely ain't it, at least not to these ears. But the pressing itself is solid: no noise, nice and loud. You probably don't need it if you have it on CD or digital.
And I too thought it would be one of those ubiquitous-forever-and-eventually-marked-down RSD titles but I went to three stores and only one had it, and only two copies. Of course, that could just mean stores weren't ordering it.

Where did I see this described as a sort of East L.A. "Another Green World?" Because it sort of is.
Not quite - even at it's strangest, Latin Playboys sounds earthier and more familiar - but a great album nonetheless. I like Los Lobos' Kiko even more, but in a lot of ways, I prefer Latin Playboys over everything else they've done by a good margin. I don't know why everything works so well here and on Kiko - Froom's production can seem too mannered and self-conscious elsewhere.
