***Best of 2008 Editors Pick Award***
To all of you smart folks who already have Volume 1, here is the highly anticipated second batch of Puente's classic Tico mambos and cha cha chás. A collector's must-have. (BP) Below, read what Mr. Phil Riggio has to say...
Here it is, you all! To those of you who've never heard some of these classics (particularly the studio "MAMBO CITY" -first time on CD! — which, along with Machito's Columbia "Mambo a la Savoy" and Argueso's SMC "Mambo habanero" — are to this superannuant the epitome of the Mambo Age 50's in NYC, catching the atmosphere of the city, the Palladium and, let's not forget, the Catskills), and to the rest of us, this is a SUPERDUPERMUSTHAVE or IMPRESCIBINDILISIMO!
When producer, mambologist extraordinary & TP intimate Joe Conzo tipped me this Vol. 2 was coming out 9/23, I dared whisper the titles of some of my hyperpredilects ... and here they are, an awful lot of which, like the impossibly good MAMBO CITY, have inexplicably not been before on CD (this side of the Caucasus, anyway)! Beg, borrow, steal, stiff the rent (again) or mug your out-of-work stockbroker to get this one.
Very Highly Recommended. (Phil Riggio, 2010-09-25)
