HAR YOU PERCUSSION GROUP - Sounds Of The Ghetto Youth LP on ESP-Disk 1067 ORIGINAL

This super-rare legendary Latin Funk release originally came out on ESP circa 1969/1970. Although the title says Percussion Group, this is actually a Latin Soul group led by master conga player Montego Joe as part of the Harlem Youth program of the 60's......""..... A fantastic raw mix of funky bass, heavy drums, burning horn lines and soulful vocals, this is quite simply one of the great Latin releases of all-time. Includes the monster tracks "Welcome to the Party," "Feed Me Good," and "Oua-Train....." Again, this is one of the Rarest and Best Afro-Latin-Jazz-Funk Lp's around! Montego Joe wrote two of the tunes as well as writing the "liner notes" He became involved with "Harlem Youth Opportunities, Unlimited" (Haryou Act.) in 1965, and was the groups 'mentor' for many years. There are some 11 regular members all between the ages of 16 -19, as well as 4 others who sat-in as the 'horn' section. Tracks Are : Feed Me Good , Barrets Bag , Ngoma , Oua-Train , Welcome To The Party , Santa Cruz , and Tico.

Original ESP release, not the re-issue of the ORO - 5 press on Ubiquity Records. The address shown on the label is 290 West End Ave, NY NY 10023, the business address of ESP in 1973/74, to the best of my knowledge. I believe this is the rarer press. Here's your chance to own an Insanely Rare Sought After AFRO LATIN FUNK Original !!

Record Condition: VG / VG+ (visual) / EX (play)

A few scuffs inaudible hairlines but plays EXCELLENT with minimal surface noise at times.

Despite these imperfections, this remains a very presentable copy of a seriously rare record. Good Luck! <\p>
