Description

Offered for sale is a rare Japan-only double album entitled Cugat vs. Prado – Kings of Latin, by Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado, including the original obi.

About this copy: This copy of Cugat vs. Prado – Kings of Latin is an original 1975 Japanese pressing on the Philips label.

The cover is VG++, with no wear, but with moderate foxing, mostly on the back.

The obi is VG++, with some foxing on the back, but no tears.  This double album was issued without an insert, as the information is presented inside the gatefold cover.

The two discs are M- and look like they might have been played once.

A nice copy of a terrific Latin/Jazz compilation.

Background: This unusual Japan-only compilation was released in 1975 and features one disc each by Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado and their orchestras.
