Joe Bataan - Riot! (RSD Black Friday)

Joe Bataan’s Riot! was the biggest-selling Latin music album when it came out in 1968 – that eventful year of urban riots, political protest and cultural awakening across America. The album’s music was the sound of the times: boisterous Latin soul with its fusion of cha cha cha’s and R&B backbeats along with heartful soul crooning, big-city trombone sounds, hand-clapping and shouting crowds of folk having a great time and raising hell. Anger and ecstasy come together here – the anger over social injustice and the Vietnam War and the ecstatic joy of youth, love and that “good, good feeling.”

This RSD Black Friday release was pressed at Memphis Record Pressing on heavyweight black vinyl and comes in a paper-wrapped jacket.

Exclusive heavyweight vinyl produced by Craft Recordings in celebration of RSD Black Friday 2024.
