Description

Original 1967 Mono first pressing of Hay Que Estar En Algo (Either You Have It Or You Don’t!) by the legendary Charlie Palmieri, released on the iconic Alegre Records label (LPA-858). This album is a powerhouse blend of Latin jazz, boogaloo, descarga, and salsa — a landmark in the New York Latin scene. Produced by Pancho Cristal, the LP features tight brass arrangements, wild percussion, and Palmieri's commanding piano lines.

An essential title for collectors of Latin soul, Fania-era pioneers, or the vibrant Alegre Records catalog. This is an authentic mono black label pressing — not a reissue or recent repress. Album includes the crowd-pleaser “Bugaloo-Mania” and the heavy descarga jam “Fat Papa’s Descarga.”

Notable Tracks:

  • Fat Papa
