Originally released in 1967, this is the 2006 Japanese release with liner notes. Both the case and the disc have some scratches, but there are no issues with playback. This is the first album by Jimmy Castor, known for the song "It's Just Begun," which was sampled in the intro of RHYMESTER's "B-BOY Ism"! It's packed with great tracks, including "Southern Fried Frijoles," which opens with a break sampled in Fatboy Slim's "We Really Want to See Those Fingers," "Ol' Man River," a Latin dancer reminiscent of Har-You Percussion Group's "Welcome To The Party," "Winchester Cathedral" (a boogaloo track), the title track "Hey Leroy," and a smooth Latin jazz cover of "Our Day Will Come"! A 1967 release by funk musician Jimmy Castor, also known as a famous saxophonist. This is a superb party album with lively percussion, a light piano playing Latin riffs, and the vibrant sounds of the saxophone! ■Personnel Jimmy Castor (sax/timbales/cowbell,vib) Richard Landrum (conga) Hillard Gibson (g) Ken Mills (p) Paul Martinez (b) Reginald Barnes (ds) Martin Charles (conga) funk soul sampling source Rare Groove
