Condition: 

DISC:  NEAR MINT with 100% of original gloss, as clean as can be found.  Appears to have been played one or two times at most, possibly unplayed, and handled with utmost care.  Labels are clean with no spindle trail marks.  Fidelity is superb.  If you are looking for perfection in vinyl sound, this is as good as it gets!

JACKET:   Jacket is very nice VG+.  Front panel is clean and bright.  Reverse has a hint of light ring wear.  Upper left corner has been bumped, and there is a cut-out hole at upper right corner.  No writing, stickers, or other issues.  Overall a fine jacket to accompany the gorgeous disc.

Review:

“Latin Rock is neither, at least not in the strict sense of the term. The fourth album in Ogerman's mod series for Victor continues the Latin pop of Saxes Mexicanos.  The emphasis is on crossover material, such as Joe Cuba's smash "Bang! Bang!" and Cal Tjader's Verve hit "Cuchy Frito Man."  With Latin percussion, vibraphone, limited chorus on some tracks, and occasional flute, there's really no room left for anything resembling rock.  Ogerman has never arranged with a rock beat ("Tequila" has always been a classic mambo riff), and "Mas Que Nada" is Brasilian, not Latin.  But that's OK. This can't be called rock, jazz, soul, or pop; instead, it finds smooth new ground of its own.  No tracks stand out, but none disappoint, either.  Add cheesy jacket art and wacky liner notes by the king of sensational liner notes, Mort Goode, and you have a pleasing, mainstream Latin mod album.”
