The Latin Touch - Dave Bacal

The Latin Touch Of Dave Bacal
Cover Design: Hobo Arts
Photography: Tom Kelly
Crown Records
CST 176 & CLP 5146 (lower cover image featuring a slightly different image crop)
1960

From the back cover: Currently, the talented Bacal improves to various exercises on the daily Jack LaLanne Show, seen throughout the country via the marvel of videotape.

The Latin Touch combines the unique talents of Dave, drummers Milt Holland and Gene Estes, and the ultimate product is a truly different package!


Worth collecting for the graphic impact of the jacket art and the luminescent red vinyl. The set, however, is dated by 1960 standards, lacking impact due to tame arrangements and or the sub-par engineering.
