"It Gets Hotter"
Demasiado Caliente
Jazz New - LP 8053 Fantasy
Sealed 1962 Full Radial Stereo Original, Pressed On Black Vinyl. Great Cheesecake Cover Photo..
Cal Tjader's LP's always have something special besides the amazing lineup. (Ex. Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo....)
In the 60's/70's he was sparing no expense on album art. Thick card stock, gate fold,
glossy finish, usually colered vinyl (rare for the time) and all information you need in the liner notes.
"Demasiado Calliente"(loosely translated; too much it warms up! or... it gets hotter!)
Yet when seeing the cover as one, there are all sorts of perversions that come to mind.
This girl is very young, the visual ass crack and baby fat. It can only lead to trouble.(not to mention to Traci Lords attraction) Oh the Temptation. It's a healthy thing, I think.
Still one of my top cover art lp's.
On 'Fantasy'rec. and red vinyl.
It's not just fluff; The songs stand for themselves and as a whole package it is genius.
