-LOS ROCIN DEVILS-

ULTRA RARE MEXICAN PSYCH ROCK 45 Pressed by ORFEON Record # 45-2340 1969     CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AUDIO SAMPLES OF LOS ROCKIN DEVILS AND OTHER 60'S MEXICAN ROCK GROUPS (When possible and if applies, I will list the name of the original version & the artist)   ULTRA-HARD TO FIND CLASSIC MEXICAN ROCK 45!   CONTENTS: SIDE A MURMULLO (HUSH-DEEPPURPLE)   SIDE B OB LA DI OB LA DA (BEATLES)   CONDITION:   VINYL: [VG TO VG+; IT HAS A LARGE SCRATCH, HOWEVER PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS] SLEEVE: [NO PS WAS MADE FOR THIS 45] A QUICK NOTE ON MEXICAN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY: MEXICAN ROCK CAN BE DIVIDED IN 3 AGES: 1) 1959-1964: "GOLDEN AGE OF ROCANROL & TWIST EN ESPAÑOL" TWIST AND ROCK AND ROLL ARRIVED TO MEXICO ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME. SEVERAL ORCHESTRAS OF THE TIME ADAPTED OLD STANDARDS TO THE NEW BEAT, AND A COUPLE OF FOREIGN GROUPS, ALL FORMED BY ADULTS, LOS LLOPIS FROM CUBA AND LOS CINCO LATINOS FROM ARGENTINA, WERE THE PIONEERS AND THE ONES WHO FIRST HAD SUCCESS PERFORMING THE NEW BEAT IN SPANISH. BUT THE FIRST FIVE GROUPS OF YOUNG MEN WHO REALLY GAVE BIRTH TO ROCANROL EN ESPANOL WERE KNOWN AS "LOS CINCO GRANDES DEL ROCANROL": LOS REBELDES DEL ROCK, LOS HOOLIGANS, LOS HERMANOS CARRION, LOS LOCOS DEL RITMO & LOS TEEN TOPS. (LOS LOCOS RECORDED THE FIRST ROCANROL LP EVER, BUT THE LP BY LOS REBELDES WAS RELEASED FIRST). OTHER GREAT ARTISTS OF THIS TIME WERE: LOS APSON, LOS CRAZY BOYS, LOS CAMISAS NEGRAS, LOS BOPPERS, LOS JUNIORS, LOS JOKERS, LOS TWISTERS AND SEVERAL MALE AND FEMALE SOLISTS: ENRIQUE GUZMAN, CESAR COSTA, MANOLO MUÑOZ, LUIS VIVI HERNANDEZ, AL SUAREZ, ALBERTO VAZQUEZ, DIEGO DE COSSIO, LEDA MORENO, JULISSA, ANGELICA MARIA, VIANEY VALDES, PILY GAOS, MAYTE GAOS, ETC. ONLY A FEW OF THE ABOVE ARTISTS USED TO COMPOSE OR PERFORM MEXICAN ORIGINAL SONGS IN THE CLASSIC ROCK AND ROLL STYLE AS WELL AS TWIST AND SOFT-ROCK BALLADS. IN TURN, THESE ARTISTS ARE BEST REMEMBERED FOR RECORDING SEVERAL TOP 40 HITS TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH. (SOME VERSIONS WERE QUITE MEDIOCRE, BUT SOME WERE OUTSTANDING AND A FEW ONES EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINALS! (FOR EXAMPLE LEROY BY LOS CRAZY BOYS, DREAMIN' BY LOS HOOLIGANS, POISON IVY BY LOS REBELDES DEL ROCK, DYNAMITE BY LOS LOCOS DEL RITMO AND MANY OTHERS).   2) 1965-1969: "THE A-GO GO & BEAT ERA OF MEXICAN ROCK" THIS PART OF THE DECADE FEATURED SEVERAL NEW VARIANTS OF ROCANROL, LIKE EL BULE BULE, EL JERK, EL SURF, EL BOOGALOO, EL SHAKE, ETC. AND OF COURSE, THE BEATLES. MEXICAN-PRODUCED SONGS WERE EVEN LESS IN THIS ERA. THE "BIG FIVE" OF THE A GO-GO ERA: LOS YAKI, LOS ROCKIN' DEVILS, LOS BELMONTS, LOS HITTERS AND LOS APSON LOS LOCOS DEL RITMO AND LOS HOOLIGANS RECORDED SOME BEATLES SONGS TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH, LIKE EL SECRETO AND LAS MELLIZAS (DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET AND I SAW HER STANDING THERE). LOS ROCKIN' DEVILS ARRIVED FROM TIJUANA AND RECORDED A TRANSLATED-INTO-SPANISH VERSION OF SAM THE SHAM'S WOLLY BULLY AS "BULE BULE" AND "LA CHICA YE YE" ( AN ORIGINAL SONG FROM SPAIN) THEN, SEVERAL GROUPS BEGAN RECORDING THE U.K. AND U.S. BIGGEST HITS AS WELL AS MANY OBSCURE SONGS IN AN EFFORT TO COMPETE WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED "BIG FIVE": LOS OVNIS, LOS RENO, LOS JOHNNY JETS, LOS LOUD JETS, LOS VAMPIROS A GO GO, LOS SPARKS (FEATURING FITO DE LA PARRA WHO EVENTUALLY BECAME CANNED HEAT'S DRUMMER) LOS MONJES, LOS FRAILES, LOS TRAMPS, FRANKIE Y LOS MATADORES, POLO (FRANKIE & POLO WERE FORMER SINGERS OF LOS APSON) ETC. MANY HITS WERE CREATED IN THIS ERA AND, AS WELL AS THE FIRST ROCANROL AGE, SEVERAL VERSIONS WERE EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONES! (FOR EXAMPLE MICKEY LEE LANE'S SHAGGY DOG, KNOWN HERE AS "PERRO LANUDO" SUNG IN SPANISH BY LOS ROCKIN' DEVILS, AND POLO'S RENDITION TO "LAST KISS", EL ULTIMO BESO)   3)1968-1974: "THE PSYCHEDELIC ERA, ACID ROCK AND ROCK COMPOSED IN MEXICO" SOME GROUPS COMING FROM THE NORTH OF MEXICO(DURANGO, SONORA, TIJUANA. MONTERREY) BEGAN TO COMPOSE THEIR OWN STUFF, BUT IN MANY CASES SUNG IN ENGLISH. (ROCK'S NATIVE LANGUAGE, THEY ARGUED) ALSO, COVER VERSIONS OF FOREIGN HITS WERE MADE IN THIS ERA, SOME SUNG IN ENGLISH, (BEING THE PIONEER JAVIER BATIZ IN 1964) AND SOME IN SPANISH BUT WITH HIGHER QUALITY THAN IN EARLIER YEARS (LOS TIJUANA FIVE, LOS DUG DUGS, LA MAQUINA DEL SONIDO, LOS SHAKES, LOS ZIGNOS, LOS PROFETAS (FEATURING ABRAHAM LABORIEL!), EL KLAN, LOS CHIJUAS, LA FRESA ACIDA) FUZZ GUITAR, WAH-WAH'S ELECTRIC DISTORTION, EVEN SITARS WERE PRESENT IN THIS ERA. AT THE END OF THE DECADE AND UP TO 1974, THE BEST KNOWN GROUPS WITH MEXICAN ORIGINAL ROCK WERE LOS DUG DUGS, LA FACHADA DE PIEDRA, EL TARRO DE MOSTAZA, THREE SOULS IN MY MIND, LA MAQUINA DEL SONIDO, LA REVOLUCION DE EMILIANO ZAPATA, LA TINTA BLANCA, LA TRIBU (WITH POLO ON VOCALS), LOVE ARMY, LOS SPIDERS, TONCHO PILATOS AND MORE. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DECADE, SOME MEXICAN GROUPS WERE INFLUENCED BY SOME BANDS LIKE CHICAGO, BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS ETC AND MANY OF THE MEXICAN BANDS INCLUDED A BRASS SECTION AND SOUNDED A-LA JAZZ-ROCK. PEACE AND LOVE, EL RITUAL, LA TINTA BLANCA & BANDIDO ARE GOOD EXAMPLES OF THIS ERA.   AFTER THE AVANDARO ROCK FESTIVAL SCANDAL IN SEPTEMBER 11, 1971 (YES, WE WERE CELEBRATING AVANDARO'S 30TH ANNIVERSARY WHEN THE 9-11 TRAGEDY OCCURED!) ALL MASSIVE ROCK CONCERTS WERE BANNED IN MEXICO AND MEXICAN ROCK CULTURE BECAME UNDERGROUND. FOR THE REST OF THE DECADE, ROCK GROUPS COULD ONLY PLAY AT THE "HOYOS FUNKY".  THEN...THE BIRTH OF MEXICAN PUNK ROCK WITH REBEL'D PUNK, DANGEROUS RHYTHM AND OTHERS. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY...    A FINAL NOTE: MOST OF MEXICAN ROCK AND ROLL RECORDS ARE CURRENTLY VERY HARD TO FIND AND SOME OF THEM CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE DIRECTIVES OF RECORD COMPANIES USUALLY NEVER BELIEVED IN ROCK AND ROLL  AND THEY USED TO PRESS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER RUNS OF MEXICAN ROCK RECORDS. THIS WAY RECORDS IN COMMON LABELS CAN BE VERY HARD TO FIND AND  THEY ARE MEGA-EXPENSIVE, LIKE THE TIJUANA FIVE AND EL TARRO DE MOSTAZA  LPs ON CAPITOL DE MEXICO,  LOS CAMISAS NEGRAS LP ON DISCOS MUSART, KALEIDOSCOPE ON ORFEON, LA ONDA DE THE SURVIVAL LP ON REX AND LA MAQUINA DEL SONIDO LP ON CBS
