Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 22,000+ positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

Far-flung regions throughout the world, American rock & roll and English beat music indeed managed to find its way across and over borders to Latin America in the 1960s (numerous South American countries had outstanding garage & psych scenes). -
- However, when it came to the Mexican-based Los Checkmates, the band had a somewhat more organic, innate predilection to Western rock. That's because it wasn't exactly a homegrown entity, but instead was a patchwork of locals and expatriates both, some of whom originated north of the Rio Grande in Canada and America.
Canadian Dave Atherton, at the time a college student at the University of the Americas in Mexico City, started up The Checkmates in 1966. His family had moved to the country two years previously when his father, an employee of an international rubber company, took an assignment there. Atherton enlisted the musical services of fellow U of A students Joe Aleo, Kippy Albert, and Carlene Kern, while also picking up local musicians from other area universities, including Javier Batiz, who later played with Santana, and Fito de la Parra, later a member of - Canned Heat.
- The Checkmates played around Mexico City, particularly in clubs and at the private functions of an elite social clientele, as members came and went. At one of those parties, they met producer Jaime Sanchez Rosaldo, and he funded a series of recording sessions for the band.
- By this time, the lineup consisted of Atherton as lead vocalist and Aleo singing backup, Alfredo Cisneros on lead guitar, William Van Beers (originally from Holland) on organ, bassist Alf Rey Conde, and Pato "Duck" Flores on drums.
- They made what became The Checkmates' ONLY album over a month-long period on a four-track machine for about 200 dollars apiece.
- Between 400 and 500 copies (maybe were pressed and released in 1967 on Coro Records.
- After the record, the band membership continued to shift, including, at various points, Jimmy Nichols (who had once at in for Ringo Starr in 1964 when the Beatles were touring in Scandinavia), future Charlie Daniels Band member Jim Marshall, and Gary McCracken, who eventually played drums in post BUBBLE PUPPY "Sirius" before dissolving into the
- southern hemisphere.
