From the good folks at the Numero Group (responsible for all those Eccentric Soul compilations) comes this limited edition 12" that's 100% heater for your Latin funk set. Lord Rhaburn Combo's incredible cover of Isaac Hayes' "Disco Connection(1)" retains all the disco-funkyness of the original, but adds that sweet Carribean flavor, making it extra spicy for the dancefloor. The re-edit version(2) is an added bonus that extends the groove for your mixing pleasure. Flipside features more fabulous Latin funk fusions with "Guajida(3)" by Jesus Acosta & The Professionals in both original and re-edit versions. Check the sample and tell me those aren't some of the nicest horns you've heard in awhile. Extra props for the "aged" sleeve. 500 copies only, son!
