Notes Listed in new releases, Billboard Aug 31, 1959 (Classified as 'Popular', described as 'Instructional')
Liner notes, from the back of the sleeve:
“Without a doubt, this is an era of unprecedented interest in Latin-American music. However, it is something that has been building over the years, for since the rash of interest in the Tango in the ‘twenties’, Latin music has retained a stable, basic audience. The next big flurry of interest was created with the importation of the exotic tempoed Rhumba and the pulsating Samba some eighteen or nineteen years ago but it was not until the arrival on the musical scene of the current Latin threesome . . . the Mambo, the Cha Cha Cha and most recently, the Merengue, that Latin-American music took complete possession of ‘Dancing America’.
Many consider this music and the dances merely passing fads, something currently in fashion that will pass into obscurity before long. However, these most recent Latin importations show no signs of waning popularity. In fact, as time passes, more and more dancers of all ages are succumbing to the beguiling spell of this music. The result: an ever developing desire for instruction in these dances so as to be all the more part and parcel of the music.
Realizing what the situation calls for, FIESTA RECORDS has devoted this entire LP to the all important basics of instruction for two of the dances, the two that everybody wants to learn these days — the authentic CHA CHA CHA and the MERENGUE. For the first time in recorded history, an entire dance class has been brought to a recording studio, conducted, and presented on wax to the listener-learner’s profit. With the switch of your phonograph, you are able to take part as if in the class yourself.
In order to have the added benefit of the best teachers, FIESTA had Tony and Lucille, (OF THE TONY & LUCILLE DANCE STUDIOS in New York City and the internationally known resort, Grossinger’s) take time out from their busy schedule to conduct the class. T

VINYL IS GRADED FIRST FOLLOWED BY COVER ( IF APPLICABLE) EXAMPLE: M- /VG+ MEANS VINYL IS NEAR MINT COVER IS VG+ i visually grade all records i sell strictly to goldmine standards. Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations"). Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all. Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly)that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value.
Very Good Plus (VG+) Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good (VG) Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. This, not the Near Mint price, should be your guide when determining how much a record is worth, as that is the price a dealer will normally pay you for a Near Mint record.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. It is a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it...but keep looking to upgrade.

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
------------------------------------------------------------- Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
