Buying note: a bunch of sealed copies of this LP have turned up, so don't overpay.

Cachao Y Su Tipica: Camina Juan Pescao (Duher 1603)

All of the songs on this album start slow and don't really pick up until about a minute and a half (or more) in, so the sound clips don't really do the album justice. Still, the record is overall kind of a snooze, which is unfortunate.
