Here is an outstanding album by Eddie Palmieri & La Perfecta, a total smoker front to back. Recorded in 1970, Palmieri topped himself (hard to do even for him) with Superimposition. This album is known and revered by all Latin musicians. The opening track, "La Malanga" is a hard swinger with Quintana's vocals leaping effortlessly thru some heated brass exchanges. "Pa' Huele" a classic tune composed by Fiffe is done with class and is beautifully executed. "Bilongo", a son montuno for some serious dancing, is magical, everyone plays relaxed and swings the tune with just the right amount of heat. Chocolate Armenteros a master trumpetman takes an extended solo that shines like gold. "Que Lindo Eso" is the only non-danceable (for some) track in the lot. It's really a exploration of the danzon with Palmieri on the keys painting his way thru a percussion rhythm played in Yambu. "Chocolate Ice Cream, written by Chocolate Armentero, has got to be the sexiest cha cha cha I have ever heard. Set to a slow jazz swing, Palmieri and Chocolate take turns improvising thru an masterpiece of a tune. We finally get to the last track, "17.1" a smoker of a guaguanco/descarga, in this tune everyone gets a turn to stretch out but Manny Oquendo is the man of the hour on timbales. A school lesson for all timbaleros new and old.

·       CONDITION:

 

·       THE RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++, JUST A NOTCH BELOW NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions (probably just sleeve scuffs inflicted in storage over the years) ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly  insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

 

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

 

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

 

 

·                               THE COVER

 

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

 

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

 

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2  (front side) and 3 (back side)

 

-        The cover has a few tiny scratch marks/print streaks on the back panel

 

-        Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

 

-        Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine  and the top seam (nothing significant)

 

 

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
