Ray Barretto's "Acid" (Remastered 2024) is a vibrant and dynamic reimagining of the legendary Latin jazz and salsa pioneer's 1968 classic. This reissue, released on Fania Records, brings new life to Barretto's groundbreaking work, offering a fresh perspective on his timeless compositions. The album spans a variety of genres, including Latin jazz, salsa, son cubano, cha cha cha, and mambo, showcasing Barretto's versatility and innovation.

The eight-track collection opens with "El Nuevo Barretto," a powerful statement of intent that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Standout tracks like "Mercy, Mercy Baby" and the title track "Acid" highlight Barretto's ability to blend traditional Latin rhythms with modern jazz sensibilities. "A Deeper Shade Of Soul" and "Soul Drummers" delve into more introspective and rhythmic territories, while "Sola Te Dejaré," "The Teacher Of Love," and "Espíritu Libre" offer a mix of romantic and liberating themes.

With a runtime of just over 35 minutes, "Acid" (Remastered 2024) is a concise yet impactful journey through Barretto's musical genius. The remastered sound quality ensures that every note, every drumbeat, and every brass flourish is crystal clear, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the intricacies of Barretto's compositions.

Sound Quality Impressive

not a single booklet, sadly - but it sure does sound amazing!
French Debut Vinyl Gem
5 out of 5 stars
GiubfvuhcenDecember 24, 2025United States🇺🇸
Absolutely adoring this debut press from France. Snag it before it's gone. The vinyl is a fantastic thick 150-160 gauge and sounds flawless, however the sleeve is a tad thin and flimsy. I personally find the Nosferatu acid illustration on this cover more appealing than the other album art featuring silly snaps of Ray.
Thin Vocals Disappoint
3 out of 5 stars
JecbepZoNovember 7, 2025United States🇺🇸
I had high hopes for this album, and the packaging is awesome. But I’m really let down by how thin and crispy the vocals come across. I initially thought it was sibilance, but that can’t be the case, can it? I know I received my copy early, but has anyone else noticed this?
VMP Album Delight
5 out of 5 stars

VMP really outdid themselves with this one...I probably would've missed out on this album, but now I've played it over and over in just the first week and absolutely adore it. Great job!

In my humble opinion, this is one of the greatest releases ever. It's right up there with Moon Safari. Truly, a job well done!
