In Reply to: RE: Cal Tjader on 2-track tape posted by Botanico92007 on April 28, 2016 at 13:29:45
Wow, I didn't know these existed.
I've got Ritmo Caliente and Mas Ritmo Caliente combined on a CD re-issue.
Allmusic.com has Latin for Dancers as 1966 but that's got to be wrong.
I wonder if Ritmo Caliente is the LP alternate title for the Latin for Dancers tape.
Discogs.com wasn't much help.
So, you can play your Cal Tjader 2-track on your open reel? That's got to be cool.

Yeah, I play the tapes on an open reel 2-track deck. It's analog sound at its best. The Latin for Dancers is from around 1958. Same with Más Ritmo Caliente. I found them both in a 1959 Schwann Record Catalog as stereo LPs. It lists Ritmo Caliente as a mono LP.
Both tapes are true stereo. The Latin for Dancers tape has four tracks with the four Herman Herd trumpeters: It Ain't Necessarily So, Fascinatin' Rhythm, I Concentrate On You, and Mambo Macumba. The other tracks are: Yesterdays, Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, For Heaven's Sake, This Can't Be Love, Cherry, Autumn Leaves, and I'll Remember April. I don't have the tracks for Más Ritmo Caliente. The insert with the track listings is missing. How does this compare with what you have? The tapes sold for $11.95 in 1958. An inflation calculator shows this is $98 in 2016 dollars!
The CD I have lists these tracks for Mas Ritmo Caliente. Maybe this matches your tape. Recorded in stereo, fall, 1957.

Yep. These titles seem to match up with the tape, although I only recognize the music for sure on four tracks -- Perdido, Big Noise from Winnetka, Poinciana, and Perfidia. The track order and number of track are the same, and the other tracks seem to fit the titles.
I'm confident that you have solved what has been a mystery to me. Thanks so much. I can now type up an insert to put in the box.
I have a Fantasy 2-track sampler tape that has two more tracks by Cal Tjader. They are The Lady is a Tramp and Dearly Beloved in real stereo. I have no idea what LP album they came from.
After a bit of research, The Lady is a Tramp (I'm pretty sure) is from Cal Tjader Goes Latin which is also compiled on a CD entitled Black Orchid. It's stereo, I listened to a sample of an mp3 on Amazon.
Dearly Beloved is less clear. There seems to be two versions, the mono one on Mambo with Tjader and a stereo one mislabeled by Amazon on an mp3 as Dearly Loved(!). I couldn't find what album it's from. Amazon incorrectly lists it as being on a re-issue of Mambo with Tjader but I'm sure they're mistaken. It's definitely stereo at a slightly slower tempo than the mono.
Hope this helps.
