In The Woods Records will be releasing on 45rpm DJ vinyl all the Tito Puente and his Orchestra tracks from the compact disc ‘Salsa Salsa‘.

The lacquers for these records were cut by Geoff Pesche in his Mothership, Cutting Room 5 at Abbey Road Studios in St John’s Wood Road, London, England ! ‘The Beatles Studio‘

The vinyl was pressed by The Vinyl Factory on The Famous EMI 1400’s ! ‘The Beatles Presses‘.

Up until now these recordings were very rare and hard to find audiophile recordings, rare and hard to find no more !

The first DJ 45rpm Vinyl releases of these recordings !

Liner notes on inner sleeve in English, Spanish and Japanese !

In Tito’s words ‘Salsa Pure‘ !

Tito received 5 Grammy Awards in a career that spanned 6 decades in which he made over 120 albums !

If you live in the USA and speak Spanish Tito would be your Elvis, Sinatra or Michael Jackson !

This was his favourite ‘Salsa Pure‘ big band recording !

Tito was widely considered to be the godfather of Latin Jazz and Salsa, devoting his life to performing Latin music and earning the reputation as ‘The Master of Percussion‘.

After the first days recording Tito revelled in the new digital medium and invited some of his friends for the second day ! Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, Eddy Murphy, Patato Valdez and many more to Ralph Mercado’s Club Broadway 96 on 96th Street and Broadway in New York City ! It was a sight to see and what a sound to hear, Tito and his 23 piece orchestra, 4 trumpets, 3 saxes and 3 trombones and a percussion and rhythm section to die for !

Samples galore for the young music makers in their bedrooms, slam this record on your 5.1 surround sound and Tito Puente and his Orchestra perform for you in your living room ! We hope you enjoy Tito’s genius ! Play this record loud and listen to the silences ! ! !
