Kay Gees – In Concert at the Century Park Sheraton Manila | Rare Philippines Private Press 12" LP (CLP5501)

Kay Gees – In Concert at the Century Park Sheraton Manila

An exceptionally rare private press LP recorded live by the Kay Gees, the resident house band of the Century Park Sheraton Manila's Kachina Lounge. Released directly on the Century Park Sheraton Manila label — this was never a commercial release, making surviving copies genuinely scarce. A fascinating time capsule of 1970s Manila hotel entertainment, blending jazz, soul, pop, and OPM into one electrifying live set.

The Kay Gees Band was the brainchild of Kiko Gatchalian, known as the Philippines’ “Latin-beat King of the 60s”. Arranged and conducted by Amado Triviño.
