From label:
"The out of print collection series are albums recorded over 3 decades
ago from swinging Latin Orquestas in the genres of Latin Soul, Salsa Dura and Boogaloo that were never released on CD and neglected
because either the music is too archaic and not marketable in this current
generation of 2006. Many swinging classic Salsa albums were never released on CD due to the disappearance of the master tapes. Some of
the surviving master tapes are too old and never properly preserved.
Most of these Latin Orquestas were forgotten or not remembered by Latin music enthusiasts due to lack of airplay on mainstream radio today.
Years ago, consumers who purchased these albums discarded their classic albums in the trash. Who would have ever thought 30 years ago
those vinyl albums today in mint condition would be worth $200.00 in the year 2006?
Ladies and gentlemen Latin Soul Records presents the first OUT OF PRINT COLLECTION CD with more to come, the album that you probably
have thrown away in the trash is now back in your possession, digitally remastered by DigiTech Studios exactly how it was recorded in the 1972,
the exact front cover how you remembered it when you first purchased it 35 years ago and the Orquesta’s debut album originally recorded on the
short-lived independent record label Ghetto Records in 1971, LA
FANTASTICA, From Ear To Ear.
Hector Maisonave discovered this group rehearsing in Brooklyn New York City by accident 1971. Hector was impressed with these young
musicians as the played smokin’ and swinging Salsa. He decided to book the group at the famous nightclub The Village Gate.
La Fanastica had an impact on the crowd as they chanted “More, More, More!”
During that night, George Febo owner of Ghetto Records was at the
scene and witnessed the band’s performance. George decided to record the band on his label. If you never heard this album before, you
will know why the band was called “La Fantastica.” They were simply
FANTASTIC."
