I've never thought of this lp as particularly rare, but as I was flipping through lps yesterday, I did realize that I never really see it anywhere. It's Arthur Lyman interpreting strictly Latin songs on Everest records.

I love this 1960 album by Tito Puente. The music is beyond wild, throbbing, dissonant...like the liner notes say "an exciting display of tropical melody which echoes the primitive pulsations of the jungle...If your taste runs toward the torrid & tropical, then Tambo should suit you to a t." It certainly does. This album has been reissued on cd, but without the great & unusual cover art..a rare example of a man being featured, rather than the female.

Typical Baxter-esque music for the film. Not my favorite, but it's a rarity.
