The Pets

This is one of the most obscure records ever released in Venezuela in the 60s and the only recording of The Pets. First time reissue, audios remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. This 1967 album shows perfectly what the influences of the Venezuelan nueva ola (new wave) scene were at the time, including versions of The Doors, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Paul Revere & The Riders, as well as the outstanding original "El Entierro De Un Hombre Rico Que Murio De Hambre", one of the finest garage tunes to emerge from Latinamerica. It followed the global triumph of the Beatles, with the beat wave was getting bigger and bigger, and lots of new bands emerging; some would last, others would go into oblivion, and a small number of them would leave at least one recording that today is considered a highly valuable collector's item. This is the case with The Pets. Originally, they were not called The Pets, but The Playboys, and the group was formed to liven up the parties and gatherings at Casa Italia, a very important institution in Los Teques, near Caracas. At one of these parties, they were heard by a representative of the Discomoda label who insisted on recommending the group to the company, completing the signing of their contract almost immediately
