A fellow eBayer writes: "Regardless that it has that P and C 1972 Fania Record, Inc. on the back cover, this is actually a 3rd Reissue on Fania's 3rd label variation of the 80's."

Born in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, Pacheco inherited his passion for music from his father, Rafael Azarias Pacheco, who was the bandleader and clarinetist of the "Santa Cecilia Orchestra". In the late 1940s, when Pacheco was 11, his family moved to New York City. He continued polishing his musical skills, learning to play accordion, violin, flute, saxophone and clarinet. He attended the Juilliard School of Music to study percussion.

Playing the flute, saxophone and assorted percussion, Pacheco performed with Charlie Palmieri‘s Latin orchestra for a number of years before forming his own band in 1959.

Johnny Pacheco (born 25 March 1935) is a Dominican musician, arranger, producer, and bandleader of Cuban music (guaracha, son montuno, danzón, cha cha chá, guajira-son, pachanga). He is one of the most influential figures in Latin music, best known for being the creator of the Fania All-Stars, and for coining the term "Salsa" to denote the genre.

Pacheco's career as a musician reached its peak in 1963, when he joined forces with Jerry Masucci to create Fania Records, of which Pacheco was the CEO, creative director, and musical producer. There, he launched and solidified the careers of many artists who are now part of the history of the “Fania Family.” This was the record label that would set the standard in Latin music and gain unforeseeable celebrity internationally.

In 1964, the label released his next endeavor entitled Cañonazo (Cannon Shot). The album feature Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez on vocals and a switch from the Charanga to Conjunto style. This was the first of many recordings with the "compadres" (literally familial compatriots), and the beginning of a long friendship and working relationship. Together, they recorded Los Compadres (1970), Perfecta Combinación (Perfect Combination) (1971), Tres de Café y Dos de Azúcar (Three Parts Coffee and Two Parts Sugar) (1973) and many other successful albums.

In 1968, he gathered many of the musicians from the Fania label and showcased them together in concert. This marked the birth of the legendary Fania All-Stars.

Also in 1966, Pacheco worked with the nasal-voiced singer Monguito "El Único" (from Orquesta Broadway) and vocalist Chivirico Dávila to record the seminal "Viva África" LP. This album nods to Pacheco's increasing popularity at the time in West Africa.   - Wikipedia

An additional $2 handling fee will be added for each additional item. International orders will receive an extra $1.00 handling fee (one time only) and will be shipped Priority Mail International or First Class Mail International.

Feedback:  Feedback is the lifeblood of eBay. It is how we judge, reward and punish each other in a public forum. As both a buyer and seller, I have often been disappointed with a deal through no fault of either party. On my end, positive feedback will always be left for a courteous, prompt paying buyer (even if the buyer has been difficult to deal with). I expect the same if I am a courteous, prompt shipping seller (even if the merchandise isn’t exactly what you may have expected). I’m very proud of my 100% positive selling record and work hard to maintain it. My thanks to those folks who left positive messages, even when things didn’t work out the way we would have preferred.
