Claus Ogerman Y Su Orquesta, "Yambo", RCA International [France] #900.107 (196_).[LP Reissue]
This album is the same as Claus' "Latin Rock" with the same tracks, but with the tracks compiled and listed in a different order.  It was issued in France, despite the Spanish on the back album cover!

  

Claus Ogerman Y Su Orchesta, "Boogaloo", RCA Victor [South America] #LSP-3813 (196_).[LP Reissue]
This is an international version of Claus' "Latin Rock" album.  It contains Spanish on the album covers.
An interesting typo on the front cover is the running together of the two tracks "Cuchy Frito Man" and "Yambo" - making "Cuchy Frito Man Yambo"!
It is also interesting to note that even though this LP was not issued in the U.S., it contains the same catalog number as the U.S. RCA Victor "Latin Rock" counterpart.

Claus Ogerman and His Orchestra, "Down Town - Non-Stop Dancing With Claus Ogerman and His Orchestra", RCA Victor [Germany] #LSP-10153 (196_).[LP Compilation]

This album was released by RCA in Germany and features edited versions of many tracks from Claus' own RCA albums and also some never-issued-on-LP tracks (released only on 45 rpm or not at all). These edited tracks are all woven together into two big unbroken tracks/medleys - one filling Side 1 and the other filling Side 2.

This album of medleys also contains some original Ogerman compositions (except for "La Bamba" which is incorrectly attributed to Ogerman).
