    Opus... I've seen some of their records--don't know the catalog #s though.

    Every Sound Triangle OG I've encountered is a crappy pressing, some being almost unplayable.

    Coke is the worst--I haven't heard one that's not jacked.

    Name change due to Coke Escovedo.

    I sold an Opus LP to some strutter, maybe they can help.

    Both Coke and Opus have REALLY weird alternate covers that make no sense. Dunno if those have different catalog numbers though.

    They changed their name to Opus. On the cover of 7779 one member is clutching a Coke LP. And there's also an LP of Beatles covers that contains the Opus One LP... tax dodge weirdness?

    Also there's another compilation:
    STS-7794 Various Artists "De La Salsa Lo Mejor"

    There's a few other weird releases. In Florida I found a pile of klesmer records on sound triangle.

    Clockwork and Mantrap must be pretty rare! Never seen a copy of either.

    I would love to get an MP3 of the Coke jawn that sounds okay...

    There's a copy of the first Mantrap on eBay right now.

    Here's a pic of the cover of Mantrap's second record on ST that I found on their myspace page:



    This is the only track I've heard from them:

    "Suavecito"

    Yeah, I meant seen in person. I've seen both clockwork and mantrap pics before.

    Wow.... that cover is comically awful, but I kind of enjoy the sound sample!

    i used to have a sealed and opened copy that played without any problems. traded it a while ago though.

    This (kinda...)

    Manteca-Ritmo Y Sabor (Sound Triangle/Daro) GRC-1085

    Also, that Coke 45 "Gotta Touch Your Face", Is allot rawer sounding than the lp version. Has allot more Reverb/Distortion to the vocals. I should get rid of the spare that I have.

    I think my copy plays pretty well. I'll try and put it up when I get a chance.

    There's loads of overseas stuff, but we're only talking domestic, right?

    Both my "Coke" and my "La Suprema" sound OK. La Suprema is a french pressing though.

    I found a copy of the Opus-"Musica De The Beatles-Discotheca" Sound Triangle LP over the weekend. Tracks are:

    Tu Amor No Esta
    Martha
    Man Of Many Words
    Interpreta Opus
    Wontory
    Sin Ti
    Beware
    Get Yourself Up
    Go Away
    Tu Retrato

    Any idea on raer factor & value?
