A masterpiece of Salsa released in 1974 on the prestigious Fania label by Puerto Rican bandleader and bassist Bobby Valentin. Anchored by the thick, resonant basslines characteristic of a bassist, features intricate arrangements where piano, percussion, and horns weave together seamlessly. It contains 10 flawless tracks ranging from mellow and midiumto funky groove. It’s a highly polished piece—no wonder it’s so popular. Venezuela pressing version. There is a linear scratch toward the end of track B4 that is audible, otherwise plays excellent, the jacket is also in great shape with no tear or split, and only minor scuffing.
プエルトリコ出身のバンドリーダー/ベーシストBobby Valentinが74年に名門Faniaに残した超傑作。ベーシストらしい太い低音を軸にピアノ、パーカッション、ホーン等が自在に絡み合う密な演奏の元、メロウ～ミディアム～ファンキーまで隙なしの全10曲を収録。人気も頷ける完成度の高い作品。ヴェネズエラリリース版。B4終盤にライン状のスクラッチあり音に出ますがそれ以外は再生良好、ジャケットも抜け等なく軽い擦れのみの良好な部類。
