REMARKS: G-R-E-A-T.........Willie Torres, JOE CUBA's 1st Vocalist....Chivirico Davila, One Of The Greatest Salsero/Bolero Vocalists ever!!!...Is Larry Harlow Here?

THE NEW YORK IN THE MID 50s....The Jewish community were dominating/owning some of the greatest (sometimes tiny, but great) small Mambo & Cha Cha Cha labels (Fiesta, Rainbow, Mardi-Gras, etc) and they possessed some of the greatest dancing halls in the city and in the nearby mountain (Las Villas, The Catskills, etc).... places where the latin bands drove them (the Jews and of course the latin community!) crazy...Not Only, The Palladium and Birdland were owned by Jewish enterpreneaurs. Morris Levy, who in the late 1960s acquired the TICO & ALEGRE labels owned the BIRDLAND located right in front of the PALLADIUM!!!

RANDY CARLOS were one of their favorite bands and I'm not sure if Larry and/or Andy Harlow recorded here...But With The Great Willie Torres (Joe Cuba's 1st singer & Chivirico.....expect something great!!! A COLLECTOR'S ITEM!!!!

ANYTHING YOU FIND IN THE FIESTA LABEL (Orlando Marin, Jose Curbelo, etc) GRAB IT! 

WEB REMARKS: IN NM!!! INCREDIBLE FINDING!!!!! (is Harlow here?)

1- "Randy Carlos had a great group of musicians in the 50's. He used to play at a place called the Monkey Bar/Hourglass Bar in Newark NJ. All of his music is very danceable. My folks used to go there to dance. Went there a couple of time with them and met Randy Carlos and other members of the group. I have at least 2 more records of his - Makin' Whopee Cha Cha Chá [RCA Victor LPM-1689] and a later Fiesta recording Hot Cha Cha [Fiesta FLPS-1245]. These were some of the first records I burned to CD when I got my first stand alone burner many years ago".

2- "I have been a Salsa collector for the past 20 years, with over 3000 rare to find Latin collectables, from the 60's and 70's.
I have 4 lp's from this Venezuelan born artist, Hot Cha Cha, Swingin' with Randy, More of Randy and Having a ball." (My Note....Hey! You Are Missing This One!!!")

3- FROM AN ANDY HARLOW WEB INTERVIEW: "Guitarist, Venezuelan born Randy Carlos was another Latin bandleader who was popular with the gringos in New York in the '50s. He had a hit record "Smoke" ("Fumo", included in Randy Carlos and his Orchestra: The Best '96 on Fiesta), an instrumental mambo that was later recorded by everyone. Trumpet player Joel Greenwald (My Note: He wrote some tracks in this LP and was the 1st trumpet) who went to high school with Larry wrote it. Larry and I both worked with Randy at different times in our lives in both the Catskills and New York clubs. Randy is old and retired and lives in Fort Lauderdale somewhere. By the '70s he was out of the business."

FROM THE WEB: 12" LP. No date but must be from the 1960s, (my note....1960) on the Fiesta Record Company label out of New York. Rare LP of jazzy mambos, pachangas and cha chas. Vocalist is the legendary singer Chivirico Davila along with Willy Torres. Songs written by Randy Carlos. 12  tracks including
Grade: Vinyl VG, Jacket VG+

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other)  and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!

RECORD OR COVER GRADED VG or LESS WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

MINT: Unplayed, still sealed.
 

NM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects, they might have one or 2 minor superficial scuff and they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM COVERS:

have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.

Picture Sleeves: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve.  

VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: 
Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, flaws noted.
VG++ COVERS:
Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.  

VG+ RECORDS:

may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ COVERS:
should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES:
might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location. 

VG RECORDS:

They have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches  may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes   will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES:
will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear  in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would  reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be  visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,  though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped  a price tag on it, too.

RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS" 

Items are to be paid within 5 days (if not paid by that time it will be subject for relisting) of auction close and will be shipped within 48 hours of receipt of payment. Paypal is the preferred method of payment.
