Henry Mancini - The Latin Sound Of (1965)

Sunny sounds for a sunny day.

Señor Peter Gunn

Edmundo Ros - Sing And Dance With Edmundo

In celebration of the continuing good weather here in the UK.

Antonio Pedro Hatch - The Cool Latin Sound (1968)

What better way to get set for a snowy weekend than with this cool album from Antonio Pedro, AKA Tony Hatch.

One of my favourite albums.  Here's Birds.

Various Artists - Something Festive (1970)

A repost from last year, the original link being long dead and buried.

Carmen Cavallaro - With That Latin Beat (1958)

Well, I finally got round to recording something new.  A sparkling album from Carmen Cavallaro.  Apologies for the crackles and pops.  Great album, though.

Not sure of the year though, late 50s, early 60s.

Enlloro

Various Artists - Latin Delights - Verve

Apologies for the recent lack of posts.  Anyway, here's a little cracker to end November with.  Unfortunately, a cracker with a few crackles, but I thought those were a small price to pay for such a quality compilation.

Here's a little taster, courtesy of Kai Winding.

Esquivel - More Of Other Worlds, Other Sounds (1962)

LINK COLLAPSED DUE TO DMCA COMPLAINT 

An album rightly regarded as a classic.  Maybe not quite as good as the first LP in the series but great stuff all the same.


Happy Sunday.

Charles Magnante - Fiesta! (1964)

I posted this album a while ago, but I'd messed up and posted Carnival instead.  Well, finally here is the correct album and sleeve.

Especially for those of us in the UK who are enjoying this Indian summer.  Should hit 26 today and 29 tomorrow.  Phew, what a scorcher!

Alan Tew - Tom Springfield - Latin Style (1969) and Magnificent Swingers (1970)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

I've posted these two great Alan Tew albums before but my original posts were a little scratchy.  I was lucky enough last week to find them again in almost perfect condition in my local British Heart Foundation.  So I thought they deserved a second chance.

Xavier Cugat - Caricatures (1964)

Fly Me To The Moon

Chaquito - Swinging Latin Sound (1962)

I scanned the covers to this early Chaquito classic before Christmas but never got round to posting it.  It's certainly a summer album though so I'm glad I waited a while.

Baia

Royal Latin Orchestra - Golden Latin Brass (1968)

Yeah, I know, there are a hundred albums like this, but it's summer and it really is a nice album.

Bert Kaempfert - That Latin Feeling (1966)

For me,  the best of all Bert's albums.  Including the fantastic Mambo Mania.

This is the re-release from '66.

Manuel And His Music Of The Mountains - Cha Cha With Manuel (1976)

A mid-70s greatest hits of sorts.  Great version of Fernando!

Ray Miranda Orchestra - Latin Ole (1969)

Links collapsed due to DMCA complaint.

Sunday afternoon latin a go-go.

Duncan Lamont - Summer Sambas (1973)

Something else for someone to complain about.

Pepe Jaramillo - Moonlight In Mexico (1967)

Due to another DMCA complaint, the links to this post have been collapsed.

The question is will I ever get tired of posting Studio 2 Stereo albums?  Nah...

Chaquito - It's Magic (1971)

Well, let's give this one a go. My favourite (probably) of all the Chaquito albums.  It certainly contains my favourite track by them, the title track, It's Magic.

Thanks for all the emails of support, BTW!  It's much appreciated and it's always nice to hear that people like wat we're doing here at I-FE.

Nice album this from Michel Legrand, an early one from '62.

Marimba Chiapas - Maderas Musciales (1962)

A wonderful cover and wonderful music.  Happy Friday.
