TRAFFIC SOUND 'Virgin' LP (Spain, Vinilisssimo, Catalogue #MR-SSS 509) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2011 Vinilisssimo label edition of RARE 1970 Peruvian Psych Rock album by Traffic Sound (originally released in 1970 in Peru on the MAG label.)
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
Formed in 1968 by members of bands from Lima, Peru, such Los Hang Ten's and Los Mad's and other musicians, Traffic Sound started as a covers band playing songs by The Doors, Cream and Jimi Hendrix. Their influences came from England and the U.S., and apart from some bossa nova played at rehearsals, Latin music didn't feature in their repertoire. However, their origin and background could still be heard in their sound, something which they embraced even more after Santana's success. Their first LP with self-written songs, Virgin (1969), is a masterpiece of Latin rock. In it, the band from Lima combined psychedelia, hard rock, a hint of progressive rock and a Latin tinge to create a personal, mighty sound full of details. The best example is "Meshkalina," a track with references to Incan culture which became an anthem of the period and was heard all over Peru. The LP was a great success and even saw a U.S. release. Traffic Sound would record another two albums (Traffic Sound and Lux) which took them to greater success and tours in Brazil and Argentina, before finally disbanding in 1972. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl with the original artwork; housed in a gatefold sleeve.
- Originally released in 1969, Virgin is one of the true masterpieces of Latin rock.
- Tracks like "Meshkalina" and "Simple" became hugely popular with their mix of late '60s British and American influences and Latin sounds.
- Pressed on 180 gram vinyl with the original artwork.
- "Sunny, late summer days like these require songs of this sort. The combination of traditional Andean musics, psych, prog, and pop seem made to soundtrack days like this. This is probably one of the more popular Peruvian psych bands (and there was lots of good shit going on down there) and, I dunno, maybe they are my favorite." --Creep Scanner
