Review: Destination 78/79: Expansion take us deep into the illustrious back cat of revered boogaloo fusionist Willie Bobo for two of his many fiery delights. Side A is his feel-heavy cult instrumental take on Ronnie Laws' disco classic "Always There" while Side B throws us into the heart of his 1979 album Bobo with gutsy raw soul power (and just a few cheeky funk slap bass twangs for good measure) Two stone cold classics together for the first time on 45.

Review: In 1978, famed Latin Jazz percussionist Willie Bobo released a promo-only 12 inch single featuring a special disco version of the now classic Always There taken from the Hell Of An Act To Follow album. The 12 inch was never commercially released and soon became a sought after item by collectors and DJ's.
Reissued now from US label Nature Sounds it comes compete with an exclusive remix from infamous US DJ/producer Kon on the flipside . Released in partnership with the Bobo family, this official pressing revisits a dancefloor-ready masterpiece and introduces to a new audience who may not be aware of the 1978 original.
