Album art designers had a serious infatuation with mini-blinds during the 80's and here's a batch of LPs to prove it. These albums feature well placed mini's as well as larger, classic 2" 40's style blinds. Both the Billy Ocean and Patti Austin LPs have been included due to their blindlike imagery.

Poncho Sanchez tops the September chart, in part due to another successful in-store performance on Sunday. Poncho’s latest release, Psychedelic Blues, may not truly “psychedelic,” but then again, neither was The Lebron Brothers' classic album Psychedelic Goes Latin, or, for that matter, Ray Barretto’s Acid. What these three releases have in common is the marriage of soul music and Latin music, which many Latinos growing up in the U.S. during the sixties were influenced by. Psychedelic Blues contains a Willie Bobo medley, a version of Herbi
e Hancock’s “Cantaloupe Island” and Freddie Hubbard's "Crisis."
