El camino que hubiera seguido la carrera de Los Brincos si no hubiera ocurrido la expulsión de Juan Pardo y Junior es toda una incógnita, y la verdad es que este tipo de elucubraciones es más para el tipo de conversaciones que se tendrían en la terraza de un bar. The path we have followed the career of The Brincos not have happened if the expulsion of Juan Pardo and Junior is a mystery, and the truth is that such speculations is more for the kind of conversations you have in an outdoor bar. Visto desde la perspectiva del tiempo, el público que había sido fiel al grupo en lugar de perder ganó, puesto que ambos bandos tomaron caminos totalmente separados, Juan y Junior se decantaron por el pop más clásico con pomposos arreglos y armonías vocales, mientras que Los Brincos recrudecieron más su sonido. Viewed from the perspective of time, the public had been faithful to the group won instead of losing, as both sides took quite separate ways, John and Junior opted for the more classic pop with pompous arrangements and vocal harmonies, while Los jumping escalated over the sound.

Los Brincos estaban en un momento clave dentro de su carrera ya que un paso atrás respecto a su discos anteriores hubiera significado seguramente la disolución, por ello la formación restante se confabuló para la confección de su tercer disco. The jumps were a turning point in his career as a step backwards from their previous albums probably would have meant the dissolution, so the remaining training plotted for making their third album. El grupo se sumerge en los nuevos sonidos que llegan desde Gran Bretaña, donde aparte de The Beatles aparecen nuevos grupos que copan lo más alto de las listas, como The Who o The Small Faces. The group is immersed in the new sounds coming from Britain, where apart from The Beatles are new groups that monopolize the top of the charts, as The Who and The Small Faces. De este giro en el sonido también tuvieron parte de culpa los nuevos miembros del grupo, ya que Vicente Ramírez y Ricky Morales formaban parte de Los Shakers , que dentro de la escena musical madrileña eran unos de los más salvajes. This shift in the sound of the blame also had new members of the group, as Vicente Ramirez and Ricky Morales were part of The Shakers , who in the music scene in Madrid were one of the wildest. Y para llevarlo a la práctica se fueron a grabar el disco a Londres a los estudios Marble Arch, propiedad de la PYE, donde les esperaba Larry Page, que había sido productor para The Kinks o The Troggs. And to put it into practice was to burn the disc to London's Marble Arch studios, owned by PYE, where they hoped to Larry Page, who had been a producer for The Kinks and The Troggs. Y para que esta evolución del grupo quedara patente en todo el conjunto, qué mejor que reflejarlo en lo primero en lo que te fijas en un disco, la portada, obra de Iván Zulueta. And this evolution of the group was evident throughout the whole, what better way to reflect on the first thing that you look at an album cover, designed by Ivan Zulueta.

El resultado final de todo esto fue inmejorable, “Contrabando” (Novola, 1968) es la obra maestra de Los Brincos. The end result of all this was excellent, "Contraband" (Novoles, 1968) is the masterpiece of bounds. El disco ahonda más en todas las influencias que hasta esos momentos habían tenido, pero con el paso del tiempo aprendieron a que sólo fueran eso, influencias, tenerlos como meros referentes donde apoyarse, una base donde poder expandir todo su potencial. The album delves further into all the influences that until then had, but over time they learned nothing else, influences, and merely referring them to rest on a base where they can expand their potential. Las canciones están repletas de pequeños arreglos que sirven para sumar a unas canciones que ya de por si son notables. The songs are full of little fixes that serve to add some songs that are remarkable in itself.

Los Brincos demuestran que han madurado, ya no son esos veinteañeros que hacían canciones sobre amores adolescentes, o los que ponían un tono macarra a sus canciones. Show that the jumps have matured and are not those in their twenties who were songs about teen love, or the pimp who put a tone to their songs. No, esos tiempos ya han pasado, se atreven a decir ya las cosas por su nombre como en “ Nunca cambiarás ”: “ ahora es tarde / ya no sigas / tu no vuelves a burlarte / no puede estar dependiendo de ti mi vida ” o “ sabes que no es verdad / nunca te miento / deja ya de llorar / porque te quiero ” en “ Lola ”. No, those times have passed, and dare to say things by their name as in "never change" "Now it's late / no follow / you do not come back to mock / may not be depending on you my life" or "You know that's not true / never lie to you / leaves to mourn and / because I love you" in "Lola." Estos dos temas entran en la vertiente más pop , junto con “ Pequeño pájaro ”, o “ Rápidamente ”, donde demuestran el perfecto dominio que tenían para crear canciones cortas; en todo el trabajo solo una canción apenas supera los tres minutos, con grandes melodías y estribillos pegadizos. These two issues fall into the more pop side, along with "Little Bird" or "Fast", where they show the perfect control to create songs that were short, in all the work only one song is just over three minutes, with great melodies and catchy hooks.

Con “ The train ” fueron llevados a los tribunales porque Pete Townshend, vocalista de The Who, interpuso una demanda por plagio de su canción “ Substitute ”, y tanto como plagio no es, pero es cierto que el ritmo de “ The Train ” se cimenta en los acordes iniciales de “ Substitute ”. With "The Train" were taken to court because Pete Townshend, lead singer of The Who, filed a lawsuit for plagiarism of his song "Substitute", and as much as it is not plagiarism, but it is true that the pace of "The Train" is rests on the opening chords of "Substitute". La influencia de los nuevos grupos británicos se puede rastrear más allá de este “préstamo”: los mismos The Who en “ Big temptation ” o “ So good to dance ”, o The Yardbirds en “ Un mundo diferente ”. The influence of new British bands can be traced beyond this "loan" them The Who "Big Temptation" or "So good to dance", or The Yardbirds "A Different World."

Tampoco dejarían de lado los sonidos más garageros que además dan los momentos más brillantes, con temas como la políticamente incorrecta “ El pasaporte ”, o “ Nadie te quiere ya ”, el mejor tema del disco. Nor would abandon the garageros sounds are also the most bright, politically incorrect topics such as "Passport" or "Nobody wants you now," the best song on the album. Más cercano a la psicodelia estaba “ Contrabando ”, donde muestra el camino que seguirá el grupo en el futuro. Closer to psychedelia was "Contraband," which shows the way forward for the group in the future.

A pesar de sus denodados intentos, “Contrabando” no triunfó en el extranjero; a nivel nacional consiguieron acallar a las voces más agoreras que les daban por muertos después del cisma dentro de la formación, pero dentro de la mente de Fernando Arbex sólo se pensaba en triunfar de un modo internacional. Despite their tireless efforts, "Contraband" did not succeed abroad and nationally managed to silence the voices of doom that gave them up for dead after the schism within the formation, but within the mind of Fernando Arbex only thought a way to triumph internationally. Después de la publicación de este disco, Los Brincos se dedicaron a sacar singles con mayor o menor fortuna, hasta que llegó el proyecto más ambicioso en su carrera, “Mundo, Demonio y Carne” (Novola, 1970) . After the release of this album, Los Brincos singles were dedicated to get more or less success, until it was the most ambitious project in his career, "World, Flesh and Devil" (Novoles, 1970
