This double-LP showcases both the big names and some of the cult favourites of the era, including tunes from Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Joe Cuba, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri, La Lupe, and Willie Bobo. A 26-track fiesta of boogaloo, shing-a-ling, and a whole lot of feisty shaking going on, all thrown together to celebrate 75 years of this legendary label in style. - Flying Out
