Orquesta de Felix Del Rosario   - "Los Saxofones” (Borinquen)
Supernice original copy of this little known, but killer funky Latin Jazz/Salsa LP! Features the rare groove track "Soul's Guinea." Have a listen to the clips provided...Tuve LPs del Maestro Felix Del Rosario pero no este....JUST HEAR...INCREIBLE! SAXES, TROMBONE, DEL ROSARIO CHANGED THE TYPICAL MERENGUE SOUND AND INCLUDED SUPER EXCELLENT ARRANGEMENTS COVERING THE MOST IMPORTANT GENRES!

Little discographical info on the web about this band. Felix del Rosario was the tenor sax player; the singer was Frank Cruz. Felix died in 2012 and was given a hero’s send-off as the King of Merengue by the government of the Dominican Republic. He didn’t invent Merengue but he replaced the accordion that had been used effectively by Angel Viloria (a VERY hot accordion player) with his own sax and heated up the music something terrible. I’ve never heard such a hot band.

I doubt if anyone on the board will have heard of this band, though there’s a near miss amongst you! Really the band’s here to introduce you to some cool and hot music that’s not really jazz but ain’t all that unlike it.

"Quien no conoce ni ha disfrutado de la obra del Maestro Félix Del Rosario no sabe de lo mucho que se ha perdido de disfrute de la buena música.

Quien escuche Skokiaan con esos intérpretes, y compare sus versiones con la del Maestro Félix De Rosario, tendrá que llegar a la conclusión que la del estelar músico dominicano es la mejor. Otros instrumentales arreglados y ejecutados con alta maestría por Félix Del Rosario son Carmen, Lisboa Antigua y Canción de Orfeo.

En estas interpretaciones el Maestro Del Rosario se lució haciendo galas en sus arreglos y en su condición de ejecutante con el saxo, la flauta y el xilófono, junto a sus compañeros de los Magos, como Manolo-El Manso.

El trabajo de sus músicos Antonio Peña, Papito Bazán, Quico Marcano, Manuel Perdomo, entre otros, constituía la combinación y el complemento perfectos. Sus cantantes Frank Cruz y el Negrito Macabí, con sus voces afinadas y sus impecables interpretaciones del merengue, la salve, el guaguancó y el bolero, daban a Los Magos una calidad fuera de serie."

RECORD CONDITION: VG+++/NM....HEAR!

LABELS CONDITION: VG+++

COVER CONDITION: FRONT IS NM, BACK HAS SOME STAINS ALONG OUTSIDE EDGE...NO SPLITS!

VINYL GRADING SCALE:

Near Mint (NM) 

(Jacket) If the jacket is sealed there may be some minor corner damage from storage, it may or may not have the shrink-wrap, but the jacket itself will be in pristine condition. The corners will show very little wear (there will be no fraying) and will still be somewhat pointy to the touch. The cover will show no more than very minor dents or some single creases, no full bends that will cause multiple creases/damage. There will be no visible ring wear. No writing, rips or tears on the cover or seams. No bubbling, water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. The inside of the gate-fold will be in the same condition.  Cutout bin punches, price stickers, staples would start being listed at the NM category and would be noted accordingly as they affect the jacket itself.

(LP) You should not hear any surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain that just opened appearance. There may be a surface blemish or two, but they will not have any affect on the sound. There will be no warping. There will be no major blemishes, light or deep scratches. The label will be free of writing and stains. There should be no spindle marks. 

Excellent (VG++) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink-wrap but the jacket itself will still be in beautiful condition. The corners will have minimal wear (no fraying).There may be minor dents and creases . Light scratches could be on the jacket, but nothing severe. Depending on age some discolor/yellowing may show, but will not be overbearing.  Ring wear should be very minimal or non-existent...no dark, full, half, or quarter rings. No writing rips or tears. No bubbling, water stains or peeling of the cover . All inner gate-folds will be in similar condition. Covers that appear NM but has a notch, Sawcut or a diagonal cut will be graded as VG++!

(LP) You should not hear any sustained surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain its most of it's glossiness and will appear like new. There may be a few surface blemishes, or a stray light scratch that may cause a moment of crackling, but nothing prolonged, and instances of this will be few. Often this will mostly occur only at the beginning of the groove on each side where the needle dropped. There will be no warping. There will be no deep scratches. There may be minor spotting or fog, but it will not affect the sound. The label will be free of writing and stains. Minimal spindle marks. 

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  There may be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear and there may be the beginnings of fraying but not full on.  Some dents/creases or scratches may be noticeable, but nothing too pronounced. There could be noticeable discolor/yellowing .There may be some minor ring wear at the top and bottom; again you would have to look for it. No writing, rips or tears. Possibly some light bubbling.  No water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. 

(LP) There may be some blemishes, maybe a scratch or two, but nothing too deep. It will not cause the record to skip or repeat. There will be no prolonged surface noise. There may be some minor warping but it will have no affect on the listening experience at all. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG+ record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. 

Very Good (VG/VG-) TO BE SOLD AS IS!!!

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  There will be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear or fraying possibly causing seam splitting close to the seam.  There may be split seams on any side.  Usually not full side splits though.  Sometimes they may be fixed by tape, sometimes not. Some dents/creases or scratches will  be noticeable on the jacket, sometimes pronounced. Discolor and yellowing can be commonplace, as are smaller water/mold stains and some bubbling. There maybe a smaller tear on the cover, but nothing overly pronounced. Ring wear will certainly be pronounced. There may be some writing/defacing, but it will be minor. 

(LP) There will be some blemishes, and some few scratches. They should not be at the feel-able stage though. There could be a skip or repeat, but only one or two at most. More often the deeper scratches will cause more frequent and prolonged surface noise. There may be some warping but it will not cause the needle to jump. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG/VG- record will obviously have been played and occasionally handled roughly by the original owner.
