A3 and B4 are D.R

Along with Willie Rosario, Tommy Olivencia has been at top when it comes to launching salsa singer's careers. This would be one of Frankie Ruiz last albums with the legendary band leader and he would deliver once again. "No que no", "Como lo hacen" and "Como una Estrella" make this album well worth while. Carlos Alexis interprets only 2 tracks on the album, but does a very good job when given the chance. While it is not a 5 star album, its still very, very good and gives us another reason why to appreciate Tommy and his legacy in salsa. May he and Frankie RIP.

TOMMY OLIVENCIA “LA PRIMERISIMA ORQUESTA DE P.R.”
Olivencia's band was also known as the "Tommy Olivencia School", because the band produced some of the best and most talented singers and musicians of salsa in the island. Among those to have belonged to the band at one time or another were: Chamaco Ramirez, Sammy "El Rolo" González, Simon Perez, Paquito Guzman, Ubaldo "Lalo" Rodriguez, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Marvin Santiago, Frankie Ruiz, Hector Tricoche, Carlos Alexis, Hector "Pichie" Perez, Paquito "Junior" Acosta and Mel Martínez

Este fue el primer álbum de Frankie Ruiz (quien ingresó en reemplazo de Gilberto Santa Rosa) cantando bajo la dirección de Tommy Olivencia. Este álbum, que obtuvo ventas inmediatas, contó con los arreglos de Ray Santos y Máximo Torres.

All vinyl condition ratings are PARTIALLY PLAYED FOR GRADING BESIDES VISUALLY assessed to the best of our ability. Pre-owned vinyl is subject to normal wear and tear. Vinyl condition rating and listening experience is subjective and variable based on equipment. We are committed to our customers satisfaction. In the rare event that the condition of your purchase is received significantly different than as described, please contact us within 3 days upon receipt before leaving feedback so we may attempt to rectify the situation!!! .

WE USE THE FOLLOWING SCALE FOR OUR STRICT, PLAYED (SOME TRACKS) AND/OR VISUAL GRADING OF VINYL:

Sealed : Jacket is sealed shut in shrink wrap, disc is sold ungraded or "as is". If you wish I can carefully open the film and send the vinyl separate of the cover?BUT ADVISE!

M- : A record in this condition appears absolutely unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We seldom use this grade.

VG++ (Excellent) : A record in this condition may have one or two visible imperfections, but these will be of a purely cosmetic nature (i.e. sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks) and will not affect play, of course, no skips, no significant noise or clicks. A VG++ record will have no scratches.

VG+ : A record in this condition will have a few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, superficial marks, and very light scratches if any. The presence of a single light scratch is enough for us to grade an otherwise markless record VG+; a VG+ record will have no more than a few such scuffs or scratches.

VG : A record in this condition will show the kinds of imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. There may be a number of light scratches and other marks, but a VG record will not bear any scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. TO BE SOLD AS IS!

VG- : A record in this condition will have a number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force us to give a record this grade, as will the presence of even one scratch deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. TO BE SOLD AS IS!

G : A record in this condition will have pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. TO BE SOLD AS IS!
