Comments:
This compilation includes most of what Spanish group recorded for Colombia in the 1960’s. Tha band were known for their great 1966 hit, “Black is Black”, but the band never really succeeded in following up this success. A follow-up single was “I Don’t Care”, which was a nice enough recording, but it did not have the quality of “Black is Black”. They did record a fine version of the Easybeats’ “Bring a Little Lovin”, which had the qualities for a comeback single; but it did not happen.
They recorded a few more Vanda/Young song, which were really good, but most of the songs are pretty bland and forgettable. They were clealy a solid band with a good lead singer, but lacked direction and good songs; unfortunately.
This CD release contains 2 CDs of music and a booklet which in detail tells the story of the band.
