    But there is a P-Vine reissue.

    the supreme option, nice clear cover.

    the boot has a darker cover...

    peace.

    I've seen the bootleg but not the p-vine. The boot has a dark cover and you can see the moire or print pattern from the sketchy scan, also the og has a glossy cover. Rather than scan they typeset the text again on the boot hence type looking clear. You will notice slight differences on the label though - I remember checking aagainst my og and the odd detail is in a slightly different place, like the BIEM box or something, very minor but a definite way of distinguishing from one another. I just took this pic of my og label...

    caballo negro and lupita work for me....but honestly you could drop the whole LP on cats and they wouldnt stop dancing or spinning out IMHO. This LP does actually live up to the hype.

    My version is the Australian release, on Carinia,(blue label) which was based in Sydney. I got some roberto carlos, australia pressing issued on that same label, so im thinking they done alot of latin stuff for the aussie market.

    Sheep you know any more? Whats your version of Ritual on?

    lupita smashes, movement crassic.

    p-vine reish was rather limited and expensive upon release. It also goes for money now.

    I got the Carinia pressing... but also the P-Vine one.

    I passed the French version with a lady on the cover a few years ago for $70 tho...

    Then it's the boot, it was cheap so it figures. Think I'll keep it, the sound quality is very good ..

    Are you sure thats the OG??? The "B.I.E.M" box is on the other and side of the number "2" on my copy????? I also just called my cat Forrest Getem Gump had him look at his copies he got from the people at Demon Fuzz and the "B.I.E.M" box is on the right hand side as with my copy

    The BIEM box is on the left hand side on my copy, and I'm 100% sure it's an original.

    So which one is the original? According to Forrest and everyone else I have spoken to regarding this... the OG has the BIEM to the right...Imma figure out how to post pics so i can put one up of my copy and cover.

    from memory, the p-vine reissue had a red label...

    that green one looks like a reissue??

    When was the bootleg issued?

    My copy is exactly the same as the green label pic posted above. I bought it from a non-professional dealer at a flea market for 2 euros and it was in between all kinds of cheesy exotica records and it has a sticker from a long long gone old record shop on the back, so I'd be surprised if it's a reissue/bootleg.

    Yeah, i have the same copy too and from a flea market aswell. I think it is a second pressing from the 70's. The label differences are odd though. All other Omega releases i've seen have the same first pressing lay-out:

    Yeah so I went and checked popsike for whats its worth and the few maybe 6 or so listings I saw w/ pics of the label have the BEIM box to the right of the label and there is one pic with the BEIM to the left...maybe both are legit OG pressings I dont know....but hey it's GOOD music.

    Really? Either way, I'm not selling it. I'm not huge on Latin records (as I have no background in them and cannot fully appreciate them without becoming to some degree ensconced in the culture), but I love this one, as well as several other albums of his.

    While we are at it. Is there any information available about who played on that session.
    You always hear it was El Chicles and such but it remains a mistery to me.

    Nico Gomez was actually Raymond van 't Groenewoud's father. Raymond is a belgian singer and songwriter. His music has absolutely nothing to do with the stuff his dad was doing.

    Well i'd love to hear the entire chakachas, el chicles, nico gomez story really, it's been questioned a lot of times over the years but I don't think anyone has really covered the whole story ..

    My boot (?) copy has biem on the right side?!? And the lp cover still in shrink!!
  • teddyrossoteddyrosso 268 Posts
    Hmm, maybe you've been switched by one of your former digger friends?!?

    there is an omega/blue elephant label sampler that has the 3 best tracks from ritual, and some other killer tracks from Janko Nilovic, Certain Lions and Tigers, Ray Baretto and more called "the afro cuban discotech sound" that you can scoop pretty easily for around $75...a cheap(er) way to get legit copies of some killer tracks...

    it has a few different jackets, Ive never seen that particular one, but from the group listing on the cover, it looks like the same record I am talking about

    It has Caballo Negro, Ritual, Aquarela, Baila Chibiquiban by Nico Gomez on it as well as a bunch of other good tracks.
    Good compilation but not easy to find.

    Have you ever seen the Certain Lins and Tigers record on Dureco with the alternative cover?
