LOS FABULOSOS SUNGLOWS ...TEJANO/CHICANO LATIN ROCK/POP!

1970….ALL NM!!!!

 

Although Sunny & The Sunglows (HERE IS JOE BRAVO, SUNNY’S  REPLACEMENT IN THE LATE 1960s!) were a San Antonio institution for many years, somehow they caught the ear of Certron Records who released this Lp in 1970. Of the dozen tracks here, all except one have Spanish vocals. I don’t know if this has a counterpart on Sunglow Record or not.  (My Note: …No!....Certron released two LPs by The Sunglows, this one the Hard To Find 1st LP and the 2nd "cariño", before folding in 1971, 1 year later!

 

The Sunglows are out of San Antonio Texas.At one time it used to be "Sunny and the Sunglows".

Sunny & the Sunglows (later known as Sunny & the Sunliners) were an American musical group formed in 1959 in San Antonio, Texas.

The group's members were all chicanos with the exception of Amos Johnson Jr.

JOE BRAVO REPLACING "SUNNY" OZUNA:

But at the end of 1962, Guerra and the Sunglows were dealing with the sudden departure of their lead singer Sunny Ozuna Vocalist on the earlier “Sunglow” label big hit “TALK To ME’, fleeting fame and less-than-magical future.

 

That is, until Ozuna's new teenage replacement decided to cut up in the studio. Singer Joe Bravo, a 17-year-old Harlandale High School student, was admittedly cocky his first time at bat for the group.

 

He'd had some success with his group Little Joe & the Harlems with soulful hits like “Crying In the Chapel.” But “It's OK” would change everything. That was early summer 1963.

Bravo was standing at the microphone at Abie Epstein's two-track studio on General McMullen and laughing between verses. Guerra, the songwriter of the puppy-love R&B number, loved it “because it wasn't like somebody faking something.”

 

“It sounded natural,” Guerra recalled about “It's OK,” which became a lowrider anthem and Bravo's signature song. The magic was back.

 

“It wasn't planned. We were in the studio. He was goofing off and he started to laugh and stuff, and I told him, ‘You know what? I want you to do that again.'

 

“And that's the way we left it. A lot of times, that's what happened with us in the studio. It sounded very natural so we would just keep it. It turned into something a little on the funny side,” said Guerra.

 

For his part, Bravo credits Guerra for egging him on. “That was a monster hit for me,” said Bravo, 66, who resides in Austin. “That's the way I laugh, and that's the way they wanted me to do it. I'm making like (the heartache) doesn't hurt. That was the only time I did that laugh.”

 

“I was just at the right place at the right time when Manny Guerra asked me to join,” said Bravo, admitting he was a little insecure about following Ozuna.

 

But it would be Bravo who helped transition the legendary doo-wop, R&B and pop band toward Chicano rock and Tejano. His solo career yielded hits such as “Patita de Conejo” and “Libro Abierto.”

VINYL GRADING SCALE:

Near Mint (NM) 

(Jacket) If the jacket is sealed there may be some minor corner damage from storage, it may or may not have the shrink-wrap, but the jacket itself will be in pristine condition. The corners will show very little wear (there will be no fraying) and will still be somewhat pointy to the touch. The cover will show no more than very minor dents or some single creases, no full bends that will cause multiple creases/damage. There will be no visible ring wear. No writing, rips or tears on the cover or seams. No bubbling, water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. The inside of the gate-fold will be in the same condition.  Cutout bin punches, price stickers, staples would start being listed at the NM category and would be noted accordingly as they affect the jacket itself.

(LP) You should not hear any surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain that just opened appearance. There may be a surface blemish or two, but they will not have any affect on the sound. There will be no warping. There will be no major blemishes, light or deep scratches. The label will be free of writing and stains. There should be no spindle marks. 

Excellent (VG++) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink-wrap but the jacket itself will still be in beautiful condition. The corners will have minimal wear (no fraying).There may be minor dents and creases . Light scratches could be on the jacket, but nothing severe. Depending on age some discolor/yellowing may show, but will not be overbearing.  Ring wear should be very minimal or non-existent...no dark, full, half, or quarter rings. No writing rips or tears. No bubbling, water stains or peeling of the cover . All inner gate-folds will be in similar condition. Covers that appear NM but has a notch, Sawcut or a diagonal cut will be graded as VG++!

(LP) You should not hear any sustained surface noise (snaps,crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. The LP will retain its most of it's glossiness and will appear like new. There may be a few surface blemishes, or a stray light scratch that may cause a moment of crackling, but nothing prolonged, and instances of this will be few. Often this will mostly occur only at the beginning of the groove on each side where the needle dropped. There will be no warping. There will be no deep scratches. There may be minor spotting or fog, but it will not affect the sound. The label will be free of writing and stains. Minimal spindle marks. 

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  There may be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear and there may be the beginnings of fraying but not full on.  Some dents/creases or scratches may be noticeable, but nothing too pronounced. There could be noticeable discolor/yellowing .There may be some minor ring wear at the top and bottom; again you would have to look for it. No writing, rips or tears. Possibly some light bubbling.  No water/mold stains or peeling of the cover in any way. 

(LP) There may be some blemishes, maybe a scratch or two, but nothing too deep. It will not cause the record to skip or repeat. There will be no prolonged surface noise. There may be some minor warping but it will have no affect on the listening experience at all. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG+ record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. 

Very Good (VG/VG-) TO BE SOLD AS IS!!!

(Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap.  There will be some easier to see imperfections, though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear or fraying possibly causing seam splitting close to the seam.  There may be split seams on any side.  Usually not full side splits though.  Sometimes they may be fixed by tape, sometimes not. Some dents/creases or scratches will  be noticeable on the jacket, sometimes pronounced. Discolor and yellowing can be commonplace, as are smaller water/mold stains and some bubbling. There maybe a smaller tear on the cover, but nothing overly pronounced. Ring wear will certainly be pronounced. There may be some writing/defacing, but it will be minor. 

(LP) There will be some blemishes, and some few scratches. They should not be at the feel-able stage though. There could be a skip or repeat, but only one or two at most. More often the deeper scratches will cause more frequent and prolonged surface noise. There may be some warping but it will not cause the needle to jump. Chances are there will be spindle marks. A VG/VG- record will obviously have been played and occasionally handled roughly by the original owner.
