I found the LP at Euclid a few years ago. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Sound is MUCH better than the MP3 downloads I owned previously. Unfortunately, the cover is badly water-damaged. But still... better a damaged cover than a damaged record. Quote

And it's probably just a matter of scarcity (not that many made in the first place), but I'm discovering that many Latin records are expensive too -- compared to most jazz records. Both LPs and CDs. But they're worth it! On 12/10/2021 at 7:28 AM, mjazzg said: Which just goes to suggest that the Salsa and Reggae albums get played a lot more... Expand I dunno if it's solely a function of frequency. I bet salsa or reggae records are much more likely be played at parties, where folks (not necessarily the owner) are likely to spill their drink on the cover or scratch the vinyl lifting the tonearm. Jazz? As often than not, it's solo listening. So there's less likelihood that the album cover is used as a beer coaster. I would say that the records get treated differently because the music is designed for different contexts.
