SHOCK! Shock! LP GUESS105 Guerssen Vinyl LP

Limited Edition Deluxe Import of this previously unreleased album, Remastered from the original 2-track tape (which is unfortunately not in perfect condition, but more than good enough), insert with detailed liner notes in English / Spanish, 180gr vinyl.

We are very excited to present what it's for us the major discovery in the Spanish Psych-Prog collector scene: a previously unreleased album from 1970 by this obscure Spanish garage-psych band . Until now, Shock were a total mystery. They only released one 45 back at the time (the killer acid-fuzz punker "No se puede ser Superman") and nothing was known about the band...until we tracked them down. We discovered that prior to their 45 release, they recorded a whole album which was never released. Shock's music is underground garage-psychedelia with crude acid-fuzz guitar, effects, English vocals...think of Agua de Regaliz, early Pan & Regaliz, Cerebrum or even obscure Brazilian bands such as Tobruk but with a more primitive sound. Guerssen

The album features ten songs including the original versions of the two tracks later re-recorded for their only 45: "No se puede ser Superman" (titled here "I'm being mad", it's a different and superior English sung version) and "I want to laugh" (a longer version than the one included on the 45).

At last Spain gets some recognition for its on unique play on the 60’s/70’s music scene, some great players out there and a beautiful combination of free music, mind & soul createdwhilst going thru some difficult periods of time, which is not talked about because really it wasn’t that long ago, but the music delivers what was being created underground portraying visions of hope, friendship, love & freedom.
