This season, our 14th, unbelievably, is devoted to telling the story of Ghetto Records, a short-lived latin-jazz, soul, and boogaloo label founded by latinx music legend Joe Bataan. Collecting literally everything the label ever released\u2013six albums, and a brand new compilation featuring loose 7-inches and unreleased material\u2013this is the complete story of a small slice of the rich history of New York latinx musics. We partnered with Now Again records to make this box possible, and are excited for these albums\u2013many of which sell for hundreds of dollars\u2013to be back in circulation and on streaming for the first time ever.  Because this label and music are both not that well known, we thought we\u2019d focus this season around telling brief overviews of the albums, and then playing a bunch of music for you. My co-host though Ghetto Records is Pablo E. Yglesias, a DJ, writer and latin music historian who wrote the extensive liner notes for this box set. We still have a few copies of this box left, so go grab it if you haven\u2019t already.  In this episode, we\u2019ll talk the background of Ghetto, how Joe Bataan used spite to launch Ghetto Records, and at the end, we\u2019ll talk the first album in the box, Ghetto Records Presents Eddie Lebron.
