Notes

Although many Latin-American bands were founded in either the 1940s or 1950s, the Louie Ramirez band was established in the summer of 1964 by Mr. Ramirez and Ozzie Torrens. The marvelous sound that the Ramirez band makes is due to the playing of bandleader Mr. Ramirez who specializes in vibes and timbales and that of Mr. Torrens who is a renowned top drum player.

Mr. Ramirez had written all the musical arrangements of this Atco disc which was unusual for the jazz orientation of this band. Though few Latin bands had the capability to prosperously combine the jazz feeling and the Latin rhythms, the Ramirez band not only was able to do this combination, but also live and perform such music.

Regardless of the wonderful talent of both Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Torrens, this Atco disc of 33.33 rpm did not sell well. Furthermore, this disc is one of the top five sought-after jazz discs that such a disc in mint condition could easily sell for $100 to $500 at record auctions.

This was the second Atco disc of 33.33 rpm that had indicated mono by means of the front jacket simply because mono discs were still the standard and stereofonic discs di 33.33 rpm were still the minority in the first half of the 1960s. The catalog ID #s were identified near the middle of the bottom part of the LP by means of a rectangle which contained three parameters that indicated the sound type (mono/stereo), the label name, and the catalog ID #. Furthermore, the rectangle that enclosed these parameters had an arrow that pointed to the left (the 1st parameter) and an arrow that pointed to the right (the 3rd parameter). Although the stereofonic issues of such Atco discs had the same three parameters that were enclosed in a rectangle but were indicated near the middle of the top part of their respective discs of 33.33 rpm.
