Ricardo Marrero and The Group

Summary: Ricardo Marrero released a few classic salsa records for Vaya in the mid 70s, plays all percussion instruments, as well as piano and vibes. When he breaks out the vibraphone, his sound is reminicent of Cal Tjader and the great Tito Puente. Ricardo has been at the forefront of the salsa and latin-jazz musical scene since the mid 70's. He has arranged for The Fania All Stars, Pete El Conde Rodriguez , The 5 Stairsteps and most recently RUBEN BLADES W/SEIS DEL SOLAR “BUSCANDO AMERICA”  SEE YOU TUBE GREAT VIDEO!

BLOGGER:

"In 1977, the album "TIME" was released. When I heard "Music in The Sun" hit the radio station: WBLS, New York City, NY. I had to have it and with it's touch of Latin jazz, Brazilian jazz and Rhythm and Blues was a winner to my ears. More hits on this album, "Feel Like Making Love To You", "Land Of The Third Eye". I played the entire album so much that it was wore out but still have the jacket and album. You won't be disappointed!"

I do my best and often time under grade items to ensure satisfaction upon receipt; however, there is a possibility that something could slip by.

Grading Scale used is by Record (LP) Grading and is as followed: A NEW EBAY PROCEDURE REQUEST THE BUYER TO 1st NOTIFY/COMMUNICATE THE SELLER OF A POSSIBLE DISPUTE OVER THE ITEM SOLD!

Vinyl Grading:

Still Sealed (SS):  Sealed at factory and never opened. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint, but this cannot be proven until the album is actually opened and the disc examined.

Near Mint (NM):  This is highest grade assigned to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++):  Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

Very Good Plus (VG+):  Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean.

Very Good (VG):  Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole. It Will Be Sold As Is

Good (G):  Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged.

Cover/Picture Sleeve Grading:

Still Sealed (SS):  Album is still in the factory-applied shrink-wrapping.

Mint (M):  Absolutely perfect; no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.

Near Mint (NM):  Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible. If There Are Any Drill Hole, tyny SawCut or Diagonal Cut They Will Be fully Described!

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++):  Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

Very Good Plus (VG+):  Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

Very Good (VG):  Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split or may have been unobtrusively repaired with clear tape or clear glue. (There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork.

Good (G):  Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.
