Spaak's duo with Dorelli on one side and her alone on the other doing a cover of the Jesus Christ Superstar OST (I don't Know How to Love Him)
unknown studio band with female voice covering Cecilia songs. Nice
great spanish soul beat, specially their covers of Dana Gillespie's beat gemm "You Just Gotta Know My Mind" or Rebel Rousers' "Should I?" are extraordinaire.How come a spanish group got to cover these two obscurities is still a mistery. This LP compiles many of the songs found in their 60s EPs in the Sayton label.
jangly garage folk covers of Bob Dylan by this obscure unknown singer, probably a studio guy hired for the recording. Rare one. Produced by Bosstown Sound boss Alan Lorber

great italian fuzzy beat uptempo, quite unknown out there. Well, I wouldn't blame anyone for dumping this record with such a silly pic sleeve! Name mispelling on labels (Foietta)
UK blue eyed soul classic, double winner. Spanish pic sleeve issue
beautiful psych organ midtempo. Totally unknown group, private pressing. Can't find any info on these guys or any reference on the web to this record!

rare and unknown weird latin novelty psych sounds by this guy from Panama
hammond fuzz shaker alert! instrumental brain melter that breaks down the barriers between funk and psych. If that fuzz guitar combined with the organ and funk drumming doesn't charge your batteries in 5s I guess you must be dead. Unknown, under the radar & uncomped. Some of these guys went to form Rhinoceros, and you can see where Apricot Brandy comes from hearing this
cool prog pop on B side

beautiful swinging mademoiselle sounds! quite unknown, presented here in a cool spanish pic sleeve issue
great prog psych with tight percussion and electric piano grooves, backed with a T.Rex styled mid tempo. After his beat period (Micky y los Tonys) Micky went solo in the 70s. For this release he paired with the mighty Fernando Arbex (ex Los Brincos), both songs penned by him, so the sound they got is in the same vein that Arbex was doing in his band, Barrabas
insanely rare! spanish cinematic disco funk instrumental with just one word repeated, Sugestion! Has keyboards, wah wah guitar, latin trumpet break and cool female chorus too. This should have been included in the reputated Psicotronica compilations, for sure, but it still remains unknown. 'Brasil Coconuts' is more lounge, also 'Tic Tac', dabadabada style this time with lyrics. Released in the obscure Ticano label
A1 Sugestion
A2 Brasil Coconuts
B1 Tic Tac-Tic Tac
B2 Love In The Still
captivating dreamy psych midtempo with female chorus. Completely unknown, can't find any reference to the record. Late 60s, probably early 70s. Label is from Hartsdale, NY
nice spanish pop beat with farfisa touch by this Cuban singer, Oscar Gomez, settled in Spain. Comes with a postcard and promo info sheet, where we learn that Oscar is 19 years old, Scorpio and he arrived to Spain at the age of 12. Nowadays is a well known producer and arranger
superb latin jazz cha cha twist by the well known mexican Pablo Beltran. Very rare spanish pressing with beautiful picture sleeve. This is the Vol II of three consecutive EPs released here
A1 cha cha baby
A2 la boa
B1 marina
B2 sin que pare el tren
ex The Savages. He recorded in Spain a couple of singles, being this one the better. Punding bass, piano & horns uptempo, backed with great pre modern blue eyed soul. Pepe Nieto production
this is a really cool unknown record. Before focusing on his theatre career, spanish actor Pedro Maria Sanchez teamed up with producer/arranger Eduardo Leiva and Jose Maria Guzman (from Solera and CRAG) to record a set of all self-penned stuff. The result is a solid album spanning soul, dark ballads, soulish rock or even a touch of psych in the closing act (Arde Mi Mente) where Guzman delivers an excellent guitar work
Cool 'n superb Arcusa & De La Calva (Duo Dinamico) production

B6 Mi Razón De Existir Eres Tú (Make Me Happy In Your Arms)
organ garage beat with horns from Little Rocks, Arkansas. Raaare record, their third and last. Songs written by Johnny Quattlebaum & Delane Campbell
nice northern soul on both sides. Obscure pice of wax outta NY. They were to be known a few years later as Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, achieving quite a succes in the disco era. This is one of their first releases, if not the first at all!

you know it, classic Bolan's glam boogies. Great pic sleeve
unknown soulish uptempo. Don't let the mushrooms on the cover misslead you, no psych at all here! Obscure group, guessing they were from Belgium by the composers (Peter Loversun, B. Christopher & Norman Nikolaas)
split LP. On side A The Ten Tops, leadered by Ramon Llenas Falco, do soft sing-a-long rock, same songs as on side B of Ten Tops' En Onda. On side B unknown Los Kennedy do cheesy covers of top ten hits
