THE PUSSYCATS: “Mrrr… Mrrr… Mrrr…”
Chilean pressing of a very obscure Norwegian beat group. Great hard beat tunes sung in English, fuzz guitar & wonderful Fender electric bass grooves. I bought this album ages ago in Santiago in Chile. It was hidden in an archive of unplayed records in the backroom of a recordshop. So this copy is unplayed, in absolute MINT condition. Chilean records are so rare as there was no distribution outside Chile and Chile is geographically isolated from the rest of the world because of the Andes. Very strange that this obscurity from Norway was pressed in Chile. But I have seen more South American pressings of very rare underground records.
The fragile cover is in Excellent(+) condition.
ULTRA MEGARARE and HARD-TO-FIND original MONO press released in Chile in 1966 by Polydor/Philips Records, catalog number 423.020, matrix numbers: 423020 A 8 2 (P) 1966 16*1 (“1” inverted) in Side 1 and 423020 B 8 2 (P) 1966 16*1 (“1” inverted) in Side 2, licensed from the Deutsche Grammophon Ges., Germany.
The cover is unlaminated and is the typical Chilean cover made of an only piece of thick paper or thin cardboard folded in the middle, so the other sides are open and kept together for an outer plastic bag. Paper is very fragile. Front cover keeps the original artwork but back cover is different, with “INTERNATIONAL POLYDOR PRODUCTION” logo in the top right corner, 5 pictures of every member of the band with names and a sentence in Spanish:
1. TROND. “Sólo sé que nada sé.” (I just know I don’t know anything)
2. JIMMY. “-lo siento- no estoy inspirado.” (-sorry- I’m not inspired)
3. INGEMAR. “Estudiar o no estudiar. Esa no es ninguna pregunta.” (To study or not to study. That’s not any question)
4. TEDDY. “Amar o no amar, tampoco es una pregunta.” (To love or not to love, that’s not a question too)
5. FRIEDEL. “Si Ud. cree que yo estoy loco, lo estoy.” (2 times) (If you believe I’m crazy, I am) (2 times)
Tracklist is also in Spanish with credits for “Graff” and at the bottom right corner is a big diamond-shaped pink sticker “SERIE DIAMANTE La Serie De Los Grandes Exitos” (Diamond Serie The Serie Of The Big Hits)!!! Tracklist in back cover and labels are in Spanish only. And in labels the name of the band is written: THE PUSSY CATS”!!!
WOW!!! This is really one of those finds you don’t see so often, this VERY RARE BEAT album, listed in Pokora’s book (!!!), released in Chile in 1966, the same year this album was released in Germany!!! Incredible and remember the date is written in the deadwax: “(P) 1966”!!! ESPECIALLY IN THIS IMMACULATE and PRISTINE condition!!!
