Description
1973 Verve Records Release and Cult Favorite in Very Good Condition; Not a Reissue. However, this record is a cutout (see photos), which means it was an overstock copy that was sold after the album was no longer being produced. This is the Latin funk outfit La Clave's sole album, recorded for Verve in the early '70s and then issued briefly in 1973.
La Clave was headed by the Latin music percussion legend Benny Velarde, best known for his massive session work and the dates he recorded under his own name for Fantasy Records. It includes songwriting contributions and liner notes from Lalo Shifrin, famous Argentine film and TV composer, arranger, conductor, and pianist, and vocals by Tito Garcia and Johnny Nelson. It also features a fascinating cover of “Sally Go Round the Roses,” originally a 1963 hit by the Jaynetts, a Bronx-based, one-hit wonder girl group.
