My personal LP recommendations:
Essential: Latin Blues Band, Orquesta Oliveri, Frankie Nieves, Chuito
Worth Having: Dianne and Carole, Moon People, Milton Zapata
Completionists Only: El Gran Sid, Phil Flowers

Of the 7"s, all are hard to come by but the essentials are: "Spanish Maiden," "Cuchi Frito Man" and "True Love." There's also the Moon People's "Happy Soul With a Hook" which came out on Roulette but that could be considered an "honorary" Speed release. Personally, I'd put that ahead of the Dave Cortz 7" "Happy Soul" but to each their own.

I have heard a rumor, that "Happy Man" by Latin Blues Band exists on 45, and I'm assuming this would be 0001. But, never seen it so it remains unconfirmed.

The Bobby Marin single "You're Moving Much Too Fast" / "A Groovy Thing Going" is Speed 1013. I have a copy if anyone has questions about it.
