I could have sworn a December Finds thread had already started but I can't find one so...
Two from my closest charity shop this week

Hugo Montenegro and Orchestra - Arriba! Many tracks have promise but then Hugo manages to spoil things by over egging the strings and brass. El Gato Montes is quite good and it seems somebody else thought so to as it is marked on the back cover. The original of this was released in 1960, this I think is a reissue but still from the 60s I think. Hard to believe , the gatefold sleeve and the record are both in fantastic shape.
This Is Chet Atkins. A double album and plenty to enjoy on here. Delightful is a word that comes to mind. I am becoming a fan of Chet. (I think I'm getting old, no, I know I'm getting old). Side 3 is particularly strong, liking his takes on Both Sides Now, Django's Castle and Ode To Billy Joe.
