A rare bridge between the Palladium sound and the emerging salsa era. Originally self-released and barely promoted, the record became a cult favorite among DJs and collectors.Sourced directly from the original master tapes, discovered in outstanding condition, this edition is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and includes extensive liner notes by Pablo E. Yglesias (DJ Bongohead) and a digital download code.Tracklisting:A1. Steve's Boogaloo (5:04)A2. Me Gustan Todas (3:00)A3. Mi Propia Condena (2:35)A4. Chocolate (2:53)A5. Booga Mambo (2:14)B1.
