King of the conga

“Acid”   Ray Barretto Fania Records   (1968)   A classic.   A well-know dance floor firestarter, but also a great cover worthy of another look.   Features “Acid”, “Teacher of Love”, “Mercy, Mercy, Baby”, “Soul Drummers”, “A Deeper Shade of Soul” –   the whole LP is an afro-latin, soul, funk and boogaloo fusion that makes you wanna move your feet.   “Have you heard them cooking / The Soul Drummers / well they play so cool / Soul Drummers / so hard to resist / Soul Drummers / with the African twist.”   A jewel in the amazing Fania catalog.   Drop “Acid” at your next party and see what happens.

    Goldmine: ‘ACID’ 196? on Fania SLP-348 … $20 in 2007 $ound about right?
    One of our three local Goodwill Stores just put over 400 oldy records on their shelves and it was happy hunting earlier and a GOOD day!
    I gave this blog address to a beautiful young college gal that was a ‘9’ and getting into vinyl! There is HOPE for our youth after all!
