NOTES:

by Tony Wilds

The music is great, but Cha Cha Cha at the Coral Reef is not what its title suggests. Not only is it a studio album instead of a live recording, but eight of its only ten tracks are reissued from previous albums. "Cha Cha With La Playa" is a basic instrumental with the La Playa guitar, and "La La Merengue" is a rollicking instrumental with "la la la" as a vocal refrain.

( S ) SEALED = VINYL assumed mint, never open.
( NM ) NEAR MINT = VINYL nearly perfect or perfect, no obvious signs of wear; it may even be unplayed. COVER should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes and minimal wear.
( EX ) EXCELLENT = A gorgeous but slightly flawed record with full gloss but it might have a few surface marks which should not affect play. The cover will have may have minor wear or a minor defect such as cut out hole, saw mark, a tiny bit of writing, etc. which will be noted.
( VG+ ) VERY GOOD PLUS = VINYL may have light scuff marks, very light scratches and signs of some wear but will still play extremely well, with only barely detectable crackles or pops; a slight noise at the beginning is allowable. COVER may only have minor or slight signs of normal wear.
( VG ) VERY GOOD = VINYL has light scratches, may crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally, and no more loudly than the music. COVER has normal wear such a ring wear and split seams, creases, wear at corners, edges and spine.
( G ) GOOD = VINYL has scratches, may have continuous crackles, pops, significant surface noise. COVER has more than normal wear and tear. Skips or repeats are possible. No records will be listed for this grade or the poor grade unless very rare.
( P ) POOR = VINYL has may be cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. COVER barely keeps the lp inside.
