Description
Rare URUGUAYAN original of the debut by the "South American Beatles" from Uruguay. They look like the Beatles and they sound like them. But, strangely enough, 12 of the 14 tracks on this LP are Shakers-originals. And they are so good - even the Beatles would have been proud of them. Great record!
This is the super rare Uruguayan pressingfrom 1965. The record is in EX- condition and the sleeve is in EX condition. Has two rarity points in Hans Pokora's book "1001 Record Collector Dreams".
The Magic land book reads the following about their debut album:
Their first album (1965) had a strong dominating beat all along the tracks, framed within a completely dynamic concept and excellent compositions. This LP included "Rompan Todo" ("Break it all") their all-time biggest hit, as well as other remarkable songs like "Qué amor" ("What to Love") and only two covers: "Keep Searchin'" (by Del Shannon) and Lesley Gore's "It's My Party".
While the album sold a lot (it was published in almost all of Latin America), Los Shakers continued to support their career through countless appearances on TV, ballrooms and theatres of Uruguay and Argentina.
NOTE! Postage indicated in the auction is not the actual postage as ebay doesn't allow a higher postage then 4 GBP in this category. Postage for this item is 8 GBP to most countries within Europe and 15 GBP for the rest of the world. This is up to 2kg, so you can add up to 6 more LP's for the same postage. Postage for 7 LP´s is the same as for 1 LP, so buy more to save on postage!
