VARIOUS / SOFRITO SPECIALS - TROPICAL SOUNDCLASH:
Edit 12" with four tropical club slayers: "Rift Valley Groove" sounds like a more obscure "Greedy G" plus cumbia/disco crossover on "Cumbia Colombiana" and afro disco on "Tabou For The People". 4 mm scratch causes some light ticks on A1, in great shape apart from that. Comes in original stickered sleeve (with minor wear to centerhole).
