Ray Barretto’s 1968 Fania debut Acid bursts with Latin soul, salsa, funk, boogaloo, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and jazz with English and Spanish lyrics—a recording that helped define an era. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl with AAA lacquers from the original master tapes, this reissue delivers pure analog energy. Highlights include the Afro-Cuban jazz title track “Acid,” the boogaloo classic “A Deeper Shade of Soul,” and the Latin soul opener “El Nuevo Barretto.”
