I borrowed a few Jo Basile's LPs from a friend. the covers looked great and promising...any good Jo Basile out here? Accordion player, right?
Oh...about the "4 Corners of the World" by Esquivel. My dad used to play "Torna a Sorrento" on the accordion all the time. I just love the piano playing on that cut..and I wish my parents were into audio and buying records. Because they were not maybe that's why I'm such a fiend.

I'm de-lurking once again to let you know that I'll be guest DJing for the
second time at Pandora's Box.
This Sunday (the 10th), along with regulars DJ Vinny, Sir Richard and
Sterling "The Glove," I'll be spinning a set of '60s pop, Now Sound, Soul
(well, in my case more like "pseudo-soul"), soundtrack grooves and more.
All calculated to keep the dancers dancing as well as entertain those who
choose to just sit and listen.
I don't know exactly what time I'll be going on but I imagine it will be
sometime between 11 and 12.
Pandora's Box is at the Lava Bar in Kenmore Square every Sunday starting
around 9:30 or 10pm.

Thanks for the space,
Peter

Has there been any comments here about the apparent CD release of Latinesque. "Litlgrey" in the Luxuria chat room (he is trying to join this list) told he has a CD release and it's in mono! Can you believe that. Considering the lengths Esquivel went to record this in stereo it seems unbelievable!

This is a what they call in the trade a "Knucklehead" record - - something
that audiophiles pay big big bucks for because of their superior sound
quality. This set normally sells in the $150-200 range in audiophile record
shops around here [Boston], so consider it a good find.

It was released on CD in Mexico a few years ago, on a 2-fer disc with "To
Love Again".
The sound quality of the original stereo vinyl LP's, however, are vastly
superior to any CD of Esquivel's recordings. They just don't translate
properly to the digital realm.

yes, that's an early RCA Mexcian CD release of the LP (from the late
'80's), and yes it is indeed in mono. I believe it's also missing 2 cuts,
as it was a mid-priced item. (It's a CD of an earlier Mexican mid-price LP
version from the early 80's, when interest in Esquivel was renewed in
Mexico due to the "Burbujas" kiddie TV show he was scoring at the time)
