Originally from Venezuela, this outfit started out playing as Los Impalas.  By 1965 they'd relocated to Spain, picking up an Anglo lead singer in Henry Stephen.  By the late-'60s they'd ditched Stephen and moved to Chicago, Illinois.  Signed by the small Parallax label (which included Sacred Mushroom on its short recording roster), 1969's "Impala Syndrome" teamed the band (Bernardo Ball, Francisco Belisario, Rodolfo Marquez, Edgardo Quintero and Nerio Quinero) with producer Martin Brummer (Brummer also co-wrote the majority of the ten selections).  Musically diverse, the band managed to successfully dip their collective toes into a number of genres.  "Love Grows a Flower" stood as a pretty Association-styled flower power ballad.  "New Love Time" demonstrated they could handle blue-eyed soul (with a nice Latin touch).  The closing number "Run (Don't Look Behind)" sported a then-trendy Eastern-flavored aura.  More impressive to our ears, were fuzz guitar propelled rockers "Too Much Time" and "Let Them Try".  Seriously, there isn't a bad track here, though the entire 10 selection barely clock in at 30 minutes.  In spite of the brevity, the set's well worth the admission price !!!

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID)

(b)          The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
