my long time pal, despite our differences in music tastes, the Best of
Cd as you most likely know are a collection of the 2 LPs, that Irakere
recorded for the Columbia label in 1979 and 1980. The other LPs that
feature both Paqui and Turi are all on the EGREM label and mostly on
LP ony. The early recordings of Irakere, in their original album form,
are not available. You'd have to acquire compilations on CDs. Stuff
like Bacalao Con Pan, Juana 1600 feature both. I assume you're still
in Miami, go to Flippers II, on Flagler where mi socio Carlos Suárez
has his store, you might find original Lps or compilation CDs. Carlos
knows the music so he can help you.

Don't forget most of the material with Turi and Paco are NOT
instrumental.
