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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please keep in mind 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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.

\ USA - HIT PARADE - HP LP 007
VASTLY UNKNOWN GARAGE ROCK GEM = FACTORY SEALED = NEVER OPENED IN 45 YEARS
"lost sixties teen garage artifact"
VERY RARE 1967 original first pressing of a major garage album, on par with the best ones from the legendary local labels like "Justice" and "Fredlo" etc (similar sounds as "The Tempos", "The Stowaways", "Skip & The Creations", "Los Shakers", "Los Walkers", "The Inside Out", "Grandmas Rockers", etc)
***TOP CLEAN*** STILL FACTORY SEALED ***
Due to the severe rarity of the album, not many of even the biggest 60's garage collectors know about this excellent album, not to be confused with the many sub-par albums from the same (60's garage-rock) era ...here's what is known:
The Sonset were a major group in Puerto Rico during the mid-60's. Their 1967 LP Discoteca has some real surprises. At the time of the LP, members were:
Billy Sonset: lead guitar and vocals
Dino Sonset: bassist and vocals
"El Indio" Sonset: organ and vocals on "Tema Sonset '67"
Cuco Sonset: drums.
Billy and Dino both helped compose and arrange the original songs on the LP. Billy sings the rougher r&b/garage parts on "Oh! Look What You've Done" and "Turn on Your Lovelight", while Dino handles the groovy-poprocker numbers like "Candy Yesterday" and "Badly Of Love".
The liner notes state the band's name is specifically the 'Sonset', singular, after having originally been the Sunsets. The band had been together three years when this LP was released, though Billy had just joined the year before.
The first side is sung in Spanish, the second in English. Recorded at Trans-Recording Studios, the sound quality is very good overall, with deep echo on many cuts.
"El Indio" Sonset really cuts loose on "Tema Sonset '67", surely the highlight of the first side. It starts out as an instrumental akin to Thee Midniter's "Whittier Boulevard" with slamming drums, a bass hook and tremelo guitar while the band makes various 'jungle' *psych* sounds. Nearly three minutes in the band segues into Everybody Needs Somebody for a verse and chorus before returning to the theme and fading out. Although side one is very good, the band chose even better songs for the English side, and they do a fantastic version of "Turn On Your Lovelight". The final cut "Oh! Look What You've Done" is the (killer) standout original on the LP. The album has that great garagey "Justice Records" production on it -- especially on the drums...
