USA born, Al Caiola (Alexander Emil Caiola) multi-talented musician, composer and arranger working across a wide range of genres. Just some of the performers he worked with were Elvis Presley, Ray Conniff, Ferrante & Teicher, Frank Sinatra, Percy Faith, Buddy Holly, Mitch Miller, and Tony Bennett.
Sick of rock, pop, punk music? This album will help create a nice relaxed mood, guitar instrumental with other typically Spanish/Mexican instruments supporting Al. Very nice, upbeat music.

Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see just a couple of very light scratches/scuff marks on each side. I then played both sides, playback is very good no significant issues with clicks/pops or surface noise. I can hear some low level surface noise between tracks but whilst playing, there are just the very occasional click/pop only.
