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.\nSourced 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.\nTracklisting:\nA1. Steve's Boogaloo (5:04)\nA2. Me Gustan Todas (3:00)\nA3. Mi Propia Condena (2:35)\nA4. Chocolate (2:53)\nA5.
