THE FLIPPERS.....A four-piece from Colombia. Their first album is an ultra-rare and sought-after garage offering. The second, released in 1967, spanned both garage and psychedelia and is even more cherished. It includes versions of Beatles' classics Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and With A Little Help From My Friends sung in Spanish as Sargento Flippers and La Ayudo De La Amistad respectively. Four cuts are sung in English - Mickey's Monkey; Las Dunas De La Arena, which is notable for some prominent and pretty discordant guitar work, La Tierra De Las 1000 Danzas, an upbeat rocker - Land Of 1,000 Dances in English and Don't Mince Matter, a hard edged garage number with some choppy riffs, somewhat reminiscent of the early Kinks. Other standout cuts are the slow-paced La Carta with prominent guitar once again; Shotown, an instrumental with prominent drums and the fast-paced Los Cuervos Estan De Luto. Certainly worth tracking down, it features some great fuzz guitar and savage vocals.

if you like southamerican garage stuff. This is a Must ! ! !

The Flippers es otra de las bandas psicodelicas fundacionales del rock Colombiano, encabezada por el guitarrista y compositor Arturo Astudillo. Son una verdadera leyenda en su pais, principalmente por las decadas que pasaron con su discografia perdida. Al comienzo su sonido era muy cercano a la "Nueva Ola" e influenciado por la invasion britanica, el que paulatinamente fue variando a un beat mas psicodelico, para culminar en un rock pesado y letras muy comprometidas con la realidad de la juventud de su epoca. Grabaron un EP y algunos singles a partir de 1965, hasta la edicion en 1966 de este exitoso disco. De su produccion posterior algo habra mas adelante. Disfruten de esta verdadera joya, requete perdida en el tiempo de una banda psicodelica de primera.

“Los primeros intentos de rock latinoamericano se dieron a partir del éxito mundial de los Beatles. Muchas de las primeras bandas se dedicaron en gran medida a hacer versiones o ‘covers’ en castellano de las canciones de los Beatles u otros grupos ya mundialmente famosos, en parte porque el inglés no era tan popular en Latinoamérica como hoy en día y el público quería sentirse identificado con las canciones de la banda de una forma mucho más estrecha, en parte por asegurar su éxito comercial y tener facilidad de difusión con las estaciones de radio, y finalmente, por que el género no había sido explorado en la región anteriormente y la mejor manera de aproximarse a él era precisamente imitando a quienes se habían constituido como íconos del género en otros lugares del mundo. El álbum Psicodélico 1967 de Los Flippers es un claro ejemplo de esto.

“Muchas gracias por colgar este disco. Lo estuve buscando durante un tiempo por la red, porque ya lo había escuchado completo en un programa de radio y me parecía interesante tener algo de la historia del rock colombiano. Cuando lo descubrí en este blog casi me desmayo”

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other)  and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!

MM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects. They might have some minor superficial (“Paper”) scuff but they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM COVERS: have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.
NM  PICTURES SLEEVES: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve.

VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, no flaws noted.
VG++ COVERS: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VG+ RECORDS:  may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable

.VG+ COVERS:  should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint Unless Tiny/Small (EG: Tiny DH).

VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES: might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location.

VG RECORDS:  have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches  may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes   will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES:  will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear  in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would  reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be  visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,  though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped  a price tag on it, too.

RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

(We Will Try To Grade Them As Accurately As Possible!)
