Always There / Comin' Over Me
Willie Bobo was a Latin jazz percussionist from New York who recorded over 20 albums between 1963 and 1979.

The album and extended 12” versions have been reissued many times, now here’s a first issue of the more compact 7” version which has become more in demand recently. It is coupled with an extremely popular vocal track “Comin’ Over Me” featuring singer Errol Knowles. It is the first time this song has been released on 7”. Willie’s son is Eric Bobo, a member of Cypress Hill.
