I found this record in Vinyl Exchange in of Manchester in the late 1990s.
I was visiting family & friends, on a Sunday afternoon we took a trip to the the Northern Quarter record shops.
I was browsing and came across this record, the cover immediately grabbed my attention. I had recently heard Donald Byrd’s 70s funk music through a recommendation of a friend. The record was in great condition & I had never held a Blue Note original before. So I decided to part with a 10 pound note & buy the record.
When I got back home to Glasgow, I gave it a listen, the music was superb bebop & I have been in love with the record since.
Everytime I play Fuego it reminds me of my family & friend on that trip to Manchester and the beauty of exploring independent record shops.
