I own that cd too. And its definitiley an essential part of Tjader's early fantasy canon ( along with many others) as i mentioned previously Thanks to My parents owning two of the original Tjader red vinyl Lps ( same story with the TJB And others)I was just playing the Los Ritmos Calientes CD late the other night. It mirrors the 2-LP release which is comprised of the two original albums, Ritmo Caliente and Mas Ritmo Caliente. Like the titles state, the sounds are more centered around the percussion and rhythm section, although it is not strictly a percussion gig by any means. "Cubano Chant" is a good example of it with the percussion break in the middle (the "part 2" if you will). Ritmo Caliente is one of my favorite albums from that era.
I see the same situations Here with the used bins. Especially at Hastings They got much more used product than new or so it seems to me and much of it is music i already have in top notch shape in other formats. I never thought vinyl would ever see a revival let alone on the scale we see it. we were ingraned with the phrase "Vinyl is Dead" for so long. And at the time i was buying vinyl regularly until they disappeared from the stores. Had i only known.With some artists, the used bins seemingly go on for miles. Yet others don't see much. I don't frequent the local stores enough to keep tabs on what is coming and going.
I do know with vinyl's resurgence, there are some artists like Miles Davis where I used to see an entire row in a bin filled with his records. Today, it's usually two or three copies of You're Under Arrest and one or two other stray titles. Many others are like that now also. Led Zep--my local store didn't have a single one. Although that's a moot point thanks to the reissues last year.
I know where you are coming from Rudy i managed to replace everything i had on vinyl and more with Cd versions. Not to mention the various transfers from tape and other sources to cdr but nonetheless i will keep what i have because its mostly too prohibitively expensive to replace and more often irreplaceable but in the future i can rip everything to a secure sturdy and permanent device ( when and if possible) and even my oldest cds are still in immaculate condition and still play well so far so good ill keep my fingers crossed in the meantime and try to keep taking best care of them. Nothing to lose by that.No kidding. If I'd known how it would be today, I'd have held onto every record I traded in, sold or gave away to friends. Now it costs too much to repurchase them (especially if they are still sealed, which I prefer). I've been buying records all along, mainly because there were (and still are) many titles which never had a digital release. I'll pick up 12" singles that have unreleased tracks or b-sides, or unique mixes or extended versions. (Sadly, many of the 12" singles have been a little too played out on DJ turntables and are worn, even if they look good.) I'll pick up a record if I need it to fill a hole in a collection (like the Mancini collection I have--there are still a few rarer titles I need, or need better copies of). And lately the way I've been devouring classical recordings, finding a nice Living Stereo, DG, Mercury Living Presence, Telarc, etc. LP is a treat.
Well, we've been around for 20 years now in one form or another, so we're not going anywhere! Started out as a "guestbook" back in 1996, and it's been running ever since.Thank you. I wish I had learned of the forum much earlier, but better late to the party than not at all.
There is one fantasy album missing "Tjader plays Mambo" the cover has a Girl in a swimsuit drinking from a glass ( or so it appears ) ive counted 10 of those albums in your picture that i have so i have some catching up to do but its gonna be hard because many of them are out of print.
