First Album Rip - Los Lobos - La Pistola y el Corazon

This is a fantastic album in every way. The striking album art and earthy tones mixed with bright reds and white is handsome and appealing. The inner sleeve is black with white lettering on English side and tan with dark lettering on Spanish lyrics side. The music is vibrant and reflects the band members heritage and musical knowledge of their homeland, Mexico, although the band came together and is based in California. I bought this album around the time it was released...around 1988, and it has weathered well. Some slight wear and "yellowing" but, otherwise, pristine.
