This obscure post punk band show their harshness and darkness in these only two songs they recorded, back in 1985, and which were distributed on a cassette that has today achieved cult status. This release is the result of the collaborative work between Twistin' Bones (Costa Rica) and Munster Records. Antihéroes is yet another mystery of the Argentine musical underground scene of the 80s. Back in the ‘70s, Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires province. Jurek and Marcelo, children of Polish immigrants, meet at a religious school. Fast forward a few years and Marcelo is given a keyboard and meets Wojtek, another Polish boy with hunger for rock and Siekiera and Brigada Krysys records. They then decide to start a dark wave band. Jurek playing a single drum and a cymbal with an umbrella as stand, Marcelo on keyboards and Wojtek on bass, it’s all set to go! Julio Torres became the guitarist and, answering an ad on a magazine, a singer turned up: the charismatic teenage poet Mónica Vidal. After three rehearsal sessions at a metal workshop, they made their first public appearance in 1984, at the basement of the Manzana de las Luces, an almost completely abandoned old 17th century convent in the San Telmo neighborhood. A young and experienced guitarist, Beto Morales, was in the audience and he’d later join the band after Julio quit. They recorded these songs in 1985. The session took place at a studio owned by a singer who was kind of popular in the ‘70s, Silvestre, and had another big name of the Argentine mainstream music industry at the mixing desk, Francis Smith. ‘Algo nos sucede’ and ‘Presentes urbanizados’ sound dark, ominous and ahead of their time, sporting varied influences like Pink Floyd, Joy Division or Siouxsie \u0026amp; The Banshees. Neither Silvestre nor Smith must have understood what those rough, antisocial, black-clad young men who despised “commercial” wanted, but let's admit that their work was effective. Despite this, producers and managers of the time rejected them. The market asked for cumbia, light pop or “something to dance to.” They continued their short career in tumultuous punk festivals and legendary Buenos Aires rock venues like El Parakultural or Cemento. In 1986 Mónica and Beto left to form El lado salvaje. At the end of 1989, Vidal and his partner Pablo Esau, drummer of Los Pillos, tragically and mysteriously disappeared on a flight between Bolivia and Brazil and were never heard from again. Antihéroes continued with other musicians well into the 90s. Their only existing recording, at the peak of their career, is this single that is finally released forty years after its recording thanks to the collaborative work between Twistin' Bones and Munster Records. The songs keep all their magic and spell intact beyond the passing of time and unfair oblivion.

This very influential album is raw and dynamic, featuring heavy rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. It comprises original compositions and electrifying renditions of songs brought to fame by the likes of Tommy James \u0026amp; The Shondells, The Beatles and, of course, Jefferson Airplane elevating these classics to new heights of intensity and rhythmic allure. We are thrilled to make this outstanding LP available again after many years out of stock. Aguaturbia’s debut album was originally released in 1970 and showcases one of South America's most significant psychedelic bands from the late 60s and early 70s. Their influence in their native Chile —and beyond— was groundbreaking. It was played live in 1969 on 3 tracks, and it became an icon of transgression due to its unbridled musical aesthetics and cover art that - for the time of its irruption - meant a clear defiance of the conservative logics lived in Chile, which saw in the nudity of the cover a challenge to morality and good manners. Guitarist Carlos Corales shines and when he played solos at the gigs, the effect on the audience was silence and euphoria at the same time, they couldn't believe what they heard. Everything was done with a professional attitude. In fact, Carlos Corales (guitar) and Willy Cavada (drums) were both professional musicians who had made a previous career in rock and roll bands. The LP showcases breathtaking moments, like Willy Cavada's masterful drum solo in 'Ah Ah Ah Ay' captured flawlessly in a single take. Dive into the sensual psychedelic journey of 'Erotica,' where Denise's alluring vocals dance harmoniously with Carlos' electrifying guitar. Plus, don’t miss their thrilling renditions of 'Somebody to Love' and 'Crimson and Clover' This album is more than music; it's an invitation to experience sheer auditory bliss! \"Aguaturbia\" is an essential album to understand the construction of what we know today as Chilean rock..\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Munster","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50382049182027,"sku":"2222055","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_649d7ec6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726240849"},{"product_id":"suicidal-tendencies","title":"Suicidal Tendencies","description":"\u003cp\u003eSuicidal Tendencies's debut has been regarded by critics as one of the most influential punk rock albums of all time and has inspired an untold number of influential musicians. \u003ci\u003eSuicidal Tendencies\u003c\/i\u003e has also been cited as an influence or favorite album by each of the \"big four\" of thrash metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax) as well as California punk bands such as The Offspring and NOFX.

Although this album draws on similar psychedelia and Latin rock sources, its roots are intertwined with the breakup of Los Doltons, a beat band, whose vocalist, César Ichikawa, took a trip to the United States at the beginning of 1969, going to concerts by The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Santana and Jimi Hendrix among many others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was an immediate hit and was sold all over Peru thanks to the band’s constant touring outside Lima and the LP’s striking cover design.

After attending many live shows of rock stars, including the emerging Latin artist Carlos Santana, Bo returned to Peru at the end of 1969 to form Telegraph Avenue with friends. They performed a repertoire that mixed the main branches of psychedelia with the novel Latin sounds of Santana.

In fact, they only found out about the release when they heard ‘Something Going’ playing on the radio back in Lima. Their 1971 debut LP sold out in days thanks to the band’s constant touring outside Lima and the LP’s striking cover design.

Involved in making records since the mid-sixties, Jonson’s latest long-play collection is a particularly special glimpse into a secret stash of recordings made between 1979 and 2012 in his tiny flat on Cornelia St., New York’s Greenwich Village, during the years we spend living (and surviving) there. These tracks are only now seeing the light of day, with many featuring Jonson at his melodic, awe-inspiring best; soul-baring, honest and vulnerable. Spanning these grooves are such delightfully told stories as ‘The Man Who Walks On Air’, ‘November Paint Brush’, the atypical jazz stylings of the instrumental title cut, plus the revealing light that is ‘The Moon’ and the magical, wide eyed beauty as conjured by ‘Ages Of Wonder’. Jonson brings together a lyrical playfulness fused with melancholic cool and genuine heartwarming joy, conveyed in both his playing and vocalising; a combination seldom heard among performers today. Lenny Helsing. Surviving the New York folk and punk scene … an outcast to both by my own volition … Most art scenes require suspension of innocent play like we did as kids in the schoolyard and become serious pretending not to be. Give me Arthur Lee, Van Morrison and Justin Hayward … the Stones, Dylan and Leonard Cohen. I’d turn on the day glow lamp in my room at home that illuminated my two posters and let these guys songs fill the air. I was a lone coyote on any random moonless night finding sounds in my head and producing them to tape. Especially in Winter when the ground was hard and there might be a light snow all around. These kind of nights provoked the deepest places in my soul to speak up. I hated cold weather but it kicked my ass to create songs like no other time of the year. At 19 years of age, Arthur Lee was telling me about life to come via Love’s “Forever Changes”. This record is so captivating and musical. It comes off as one long story all interconnected. Justin Hayward’s “Watching and Waiting” as well as “The Actor” could unblock any negativity in my world and put me right as I remembered my dreams again.

Born out of the fertile 1960s music scene of the Pacific Northwest, The Surprise Package was comprised of members from The Viceroys and The Galaxies. These two bands were regulars at regional teen fairs and often played alongside The Sonics and The Wailers. After a record deal with Columbia Records and Terry Melcher fell through, the group found themselves in the waiting room of LHI headquarters for an audition with Lee Hazlewood. Lee liked what he heard and the band was signed. In the late 1960s, Lee went on a creative tangent into the world of psychedelia, releasing far-out tracks from Ann-Margret, The Aggregation, Hamilton Streetcar and many others. The Surprise Package recorded the album \u003ci\u003eFree Up\u003c\/i\u003e with Lee, featuring heavy fuzz guitar, rock organ, keyboard bass (like The Doors) and a fifteen-minute title track. Though Lee was always willing to experiment in the studio and explore many different genres, psychedelia wasn't totally his bag. He spent a lot of the sessions in the control room drinking scotch. \"I can give you a quote from Merle Haggard,\" joked Surprise Package singer Rob Lowery. \"He was sitting in on one of our sessions once and he said 'You know, I don't understand this rock 'n' roll bullshit!' I don't think Lee understood it either, but he liked it and he was behind us.\" A stadium show with Led Zeppelin, extensive touring with the Beach Boys and other national acts failed to bring success. The band parted ways with Lee and LHI, changed their name to American Eagle and put one final record out on Decca.

This release is a collaboration between Discos Nada, Fatiado and Munster Records. The Beggers were formed in the industrial ABC Paulista region, the birthplace of the Brazilian punk rock scene. But many years before that, The Beggers were already a kind of proto-punk act, as can be heard on the first track of this 7” record, ‘Estes Homens Farrapos’, a rather unusual social commentary song in those flower power days. Considered a protest song, it ended up being censored. However, the most psychedelic and experimental track is ‘We’re Going, to Aid You’, a song about a fictional alien invasion. The creepy effects created by the group in the studio can be compared to those by the greatest international bands of the time. The Beggers only had three original compositions and a fourth one was missing to complete the EP. This was how ‘We’re Going, to Aid You’ was eventually created as an experiment in the studio, just to complete the record. With “Metamorfose” banned from the shops, the members of The Beggers were running out of money, and without any gigs they had no other choice but to break up the band shortly after the release of their mighty EP.

There's little reverb, almost no double tracking, and absolutely no attempt to Americanize his delivery. The subject matter is rendered in a similar, disarmingly plain way. Boredom, depression, unrequited love, and existential dread are treated in equal parts -sans one song about playing the electric guitar (the aptly titled 'Electric Guitar').

Then they reach a kind of breaking point - a more experimental part - generating an interesting sonic boom (The Ramones team up with Blue Oyster Cult in a particularly gloomy alley). Lovelock's lyrics exude more optimism than on previous LPs and this peaks with 'Big World', a declaration of love to his beloved planet Earth. There is also room for his usual biting social commentary. On the album we also find a tribute to one of its musical influences, 'Let's Do It Again' by Sonic's Rendezvous Band (with the participation of Fred 'Sonic' Smith, ex-MC5). This great LP reflects the simple spirit of the Rifles' rock'n'roll with catchy choruses and signature guitars, along with another style that they began to play with after this album, a more experimental and introspective side.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Munster","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50405304107339,"sku":"2183233","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/BANGLP177_442f0ade_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726575399"},{"product_id":"virgin","title":"Virgin","description":"\u003cp\u003eDive into the revolutionary Latin rock vibes of Traffic Sound with their 1970 masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eVirgin\u003c\/i\u003e. Originating in Lima, Peru, this iconic album marked a turning point for the band, fusing psychedelia, hard rock, and a touch of progressive rock with a distinct Latin flavour.

Recorded by youthful members barely 20 years old, the album reflects the non-conformist, profound, and occasionally otherworldly spirit that characterized the youth in Lima during the late 60s. The influence of Anglo-Saxon psychedelia is evident, representing a defiance against the prevailing conservative traditions of the city. Released in January 1970, the album exhibits the bold and free spirit of late 60s pop music, drawing inspiration from post-Sgt. Pepper's rock and Peruvian psychedelia. The lyrics, predominantly in English, emphasize the youthful desire to break free and search for answers in both the real world and the hidden corners of a stimulated mind. The album was a gateway to a more pedestrian future, where Latin music exerted greater influence, and individual egos re-emerged in the wake of hippy collectivism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album's songs are divided into 'Tomorrow' and 'Today,' each offering a unique emotional and sonorous experience. The album includes notable tracks such as 'Virgin (I Can't Regret You, My Friend),' 'Tell The World I'm Alive,' 'Yellow Sea Days,' 'Jews Caboose,' 'A Place in Time Called \"You And Me,\"' 'Simple,' 'Meshkalina,' and 'Last Song.'

Disperú is the first independent record label in Peru and South America that was founded and run by a woman. In the space of five years Rebeca Llave turned not only Disperú into a successful company but also transformed it into an amplifier and showcase for unique Peruvian popular music projects including the raw, wild and visceral sound of Los Saicos, 60s punk pioneers. This compilation comprises 14 amazing tracks, ranging from cumbia or boogaloo to beat and garage, to celebrate the music legacy of this unique pioneering woman. Disperú was founded at a key moment for Peruvian popular music. In 1965 young Peruvians were gaining prominence in society and the entertainment industry. The hangover of the 'new wave', with its balladeers, persisted on the radio and television, but rock bands were also emerging, inspired by what was happening musically in Liverpool and on the beaches of California. Guided by her ability to spot talent and target what she perceived as commercial prospects, Rebeca signed up an impressive lineup of artists. Several of which would move on to bigger labels, after ‘the girl with the charming smile’ had set them on the recording road to fame. Besides gathering young rockers (Los Saicos, Jean Paul El Troglodita…) and new wave bands (Los 4 Brillantes, Golden Boys…) under its umbrella, Disperú also ventured into coastal and Andean music from Peru and tropical music (Chano Scotty y su Combo Latino, Toño y sus Sicodélicos…).

We did the Honey Bop single with Ronny Weiser at Rollin Rock and a couple songs with the Kessel Brothers. We started something with Kim Fowley that did not work out. They kept trying different producers until we finally decided to go back to Detroit and do the album on our own. We didn't have a lot of experience but we knew what we wanted and Detroit was part of that so we recorded the album and had a blast doing it.

Records of Burbank, California was likely the most significant American independent record label of the 1970s. It was the first in this country to recognize and actively support the punk rock and new wave revolution with its releases, at a time when both America’s vast regional disparity and an extremely conservative record business had deemed this new, strange idiom anathema. In its first five years Bomp! the label wore its heart on its sleeve with a series of fascinating, unpredictable, and memorable 45 RPM releases. And the whole was brainstormed by Greg Shaw, likely the only maverick alive at that time who could have created and populated such a scenario. The winter 1976 issue of Who Put The Bomp (Greg Shaw’s fanzine) had featured a detailed report on the Boston scene, with favorable mentions of two future Bomp! acts. Willie ‘Loco’ Alexander was a local legend, the storied former lead singer of the Lost, and his 1975 single ‘Kerouac’ (reissued on Bomp!) was a suitably eccentric, Dylan-ish ode to the beat maven. DMZ was a more predictable proposition, sporting obvious glam roots and an eccentric but dedicated rock \u0026amp; roll fan in lead singer, Jeff ‘Mono Mann’ Conolly. Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Conolly and crew went for a chaotic and intense hybrid of Dolls, Stooges and most of the Nuggets bands, so Bomp! the label was a natural choice.

Often labeled as a nueva ola artist, he rather saw his performance style as a solo artist as following in the footsteps of Los Saicos, also signed to Disperú. The album includes Spanish sung versions of British beat songs and covers of the American songbook as well as various international hits. Enrique Roberto Tellería made his Peruvian television debut in 1965 under the stage name Jean Paul El Troglodita and wearing an imitation leopard skin suit. He would switch from melodic calm to shouting wildly or suddenly drop to the floor on his knees and smash the furniture like crazy. At the age of 19, DisPerú signed him to the label on the strength of these early performances. His first single included a freely translated version of 'Secret Agent Man' in Spanish. He began to work on the eleven cover versions that would feature on his first LP immediately, writing all his own lyrics and accompanied by the beat band Los Steivos. Despite the predominance of English beat music in Peru, the album only included three songs directly related to the British invasion: ‘Bus Stop’ by The Hollies, also played in raga rock style; ‘Paint it Black’ by The Rolling Stones; and 'The House of the Rising Sun', which follows the arrangement recorded by The Animals. Most songs come the American songbook. Apart from 'Tema de El Troglodita' (a versión of ‘Secret Agent’ by The Challengers), we find the bluesy 'Mustang Sally' (Sir Mack Rice). Two other US numbers, originally performed with orchestral accompaniment, were adapted to fit the rock band format: 'Poor Side of Town' (Johnny Rivers) and 'Take Me to the Moon' (Kaye Ballard). 'El verdadero amor’ (‘True Love'), an uncredited version is in a similar vein. The Spanish song 'Negro es negro' (Los Bravos) and the Brazilian track 'Que todo se vaya al infierno' (Roberto Carlos) also feature on the LP. El Troglodita’s association with the so-called nueva ola, indicated on the back cover, needs clarification. In Peru, nueva ola was a mixed bag rather than a specific musical style and encompassed slow rock, twist, bossa nova and all the styles that the record industry produced to tame the wild rock 'n' roll impulses of teenagers in the early sixties. The Peruvian artists that performed these inoffensive Spanish adaptations of Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka or Frankie Avalon, were presented as successful models of youth culture. This was until 1964, when the Beatles with their mop-top haircuts hit the charts, vindicating rock 'n' roll and imposing the group format over the soloist model. Meanwhile the press continued to call any youth music recorded during the rest of the decade nueva ola. Jean Paul noted these distinctions early on and distanced himself from it in several statements. He saw his performance style as a solo artist as following in the footsteps of Los Saicos. His ‘hippie’ lifestyle got him arrested by the new de facto military government in 1968, who accused him of promoting drug consumption and corrupting the Peruvian youth.

Décima Víctima were a Spanish band that, during their short-lived career between 1981 and 1984, developed a very personal sound reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure and other British post-punk bands. Although commercial success evaded them, rarely has any Spanish band achieved such a high degree of quality and coherence in their music and personality. Despite only being active for under three years, Décima Víctima left a long-lasting legacy, and their influence would later be heard in Spanish bands such as Family, Los Planetas and Sr Chinarro. In 1981, brothers Lars and Per Mertanen formed the instrumental band Clausula Tenebrosa. After a show they started talking about the possibility of rehearsing with Carlos, a friend at the time and ex-singer of the recently split Ejecutivos Agresivos. That's how the story of Décima Víctima started, rehearsing with a drum machine in the cellar of the Mertanens' house in Madrid. A few months later they made their first studio recording, a demo recorded on a 4-track. And shortly after, with their friends from the band Esclarecidos, they started the independent label Grabaciones Accidentales (GASA), and were able to start releasing their own records. The first single came out in 1982, with Lars playing drums on it. Soon after, Los Esclarecidos introduced them to Jose Brena and he joined Décima Víctima as drummer. The second single was also recorded in 1982. A few months later they went to Vigo for a week to try out their repertoire live, in order to see which tracks the audience liked best and choose 12 for the record. The studio sessions were no short of joy and experimentation. Paco Trinidad, the producer, understood what the band wanted and managed to achieve it technically. Despite commercial success evaded them, their first LP was acclaimed by the press, especially by El Pais, one of the biggest-selling newspapers in Spain. Unavailable for years and always in high demand, this is the first time their debut album gets an official reissue in its original single LP format.

After self-releasing two records with his band 'O' Level, in 1979 Ed Ball continued the path of 60s-influenced new wave pop already present in that band's 'The Malcolm EP' (1978), now under the name Teenage Filmstars. In this new adventure he was accompanied by his school friends Dan Treacy and Joe Foster (both members of Television Personalities). With their help Ball released a first single in September 1979 featuring two songs: the A side is taken by '(There's A) Cloud Over Liverpool' (a tremendous chorus-song ) and the B side contained 'Sometimes Good Guys Don't Follow Trends' (a comment on youth culture). The song '(There's A) Cloud Over Liverpool' received support by John Peel and reached certain fame in the UK and the United States, where it was interpreted as an homage to John Lennon. June 1980 saw the release of their second single, titled 'The Odd Man Out', where Teenage Filmstars offer as the lead track a catchy ska-pop number in the vein of Madness. The other side featured 'I Apologise', a beautiful pop melody punctuated by the kind of guitars characteristic of the revival mod bands of the time. Their last single, from November 1980, included the track from their repertoire with the biggest potential, 'I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape' (re-recorded in 1982 for Ball's next project, The Times, again along with Dan Treacy), an homage to the actor Patrick Joseph McGoohan, who worked in the late 1960s cult TV series 'The Prisoner'. The single's other side features 'We're Not Sorry', a power pop nugget which links them with bands such as The Jam and Merton Parkas (who were mocked on one of the two sleeves of '(There's A) Cloud Over Liverpool'). This compilation also includes two tracks never released on vinyl until now which were recorded in April 1979, in the style of 'O' Level: 'He's A Professional' (antimilitary punk-pop) and the folk-punk anthem 'The John Peel March', dedicated to the legendary BBC radio host and great supporter of new bands. This retrospective is completed with a recording session dated in November 1980 which produced three tracks ('Storybook Beginnings', 'Dressing Up For The Cameras' and 'The Sun Never Sets') which further explore the power pop-mod sound that Ed Ball would develop in his next band The Times. Ed Ball's music career would continue into the 1980s and 90s in bands such as Television Personalities (until 1985), The Times (until 1999) and many more projects, including four albums as a solo artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Munster","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50442978033995,"sku":"371769","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f5c0a1cd-51b6-45e2-99f0-8827ec5717d3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727006870"},{"product_id":"pseudo-punk","title":"Pseudo Punk","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst vinyl reissue of the recordings of 'O' Level, one of the early bands of maverick pop artisan Ed Ball, also a member of Teenage Filmstars, Television Personalities and The Times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Munster","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50443013456203,"sku":"2205242","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6125PXqO0yL._UF8941000_QL80__1c933aaf_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727007397"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_c6c63f6f_thumbnail_4096_e1dab850-e37d-431d-9293-65732d21f433.jpg?v=1725622620","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/munster.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
