LA BARRA DE CHOCOLATE 's/t' LP (Spain, Vinilisssimo, Catalogue #MR-SSS 508) Brand new/unplayed copy of superb Vinilisssimo label LP edition of very rare 1970 LP (their sole album) by Argentinean beat garage fuzz punk psych legends La Barra De Chocolate.
(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 COPIES!)
'La Barra De Chocolate was a short-lived project led by Pajarito Zaguri, a former member of Los Beatniks, Los Naufragos, a key figure in the birth and development of Argentine rock. In 1968, he gathered some musician friends that used to visit the legendary Buenos Aires venue La Cueva. They soon caught the attention of the Music Hall record label and in 1969 released their first single, Hippies Y Todo El Circo/Cual Es La Forma? They also won the Festival Beat talent contest and their second single, Alza La Voz, sold over 40,000 copies. However, after the recording of their first album and the release of a few more singles, the band split the following year, unable to cope their newfound success and perhaps due to the other music projects all the members had. This brief period was enough to produce a fantastic LP containing garage, beat, psychedelia and influence of Bob Dylan which represents a brilliant portrait of late 1960s Buenos Aires. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl with the original artwork.'
'This very rare Argentinean garage outfit's album utilized snaky fuzz guitar, wah-wah guitar and swirling farfisa organ and the lyrics were sung in their native tongue. Some have compared it to British North American Act or New Dawn. The killer cut is the just under eight-minute Viste?, which reputedly contains some stunning acid guitar work. All eleven cuts were written by Zaguri (although some were co-written) and ranged from beat to psychedelia. Zaguri's real name was Alberto Garcia and he'd previously recorded a very rare single as El Cuarto Pajarito, Navidad Espcial I Un Diablito En El Cielo (Microfon 3622) with assistance from Litto Nebbia and others.' - Vernon Joynson/Dreams, Fantasies And Nightmares
