LOS YORK'S 'El Viaje: 1966-1974' Double LP (Spain, Munster Records, Catalogue #MR 285) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited (edition of 1000 copies only) Munster Records label Double LP collection of 1960s/1970s garage beat fuzz rock by Peruvian band Los York's.
(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 COPIES ONLY!)
'This collection brings together the greatest tracks from Peru's Los York's, taken from their four LPs and 25 singles, between 1966 and 1974. Los York's were the most famous and successful band in their county (more than Los Shains or Los Saicos.) Back in their heyday they were accused of drug-abuse and criticized because of the evilness of their sound and lyrics (which praised free love.) The very original feedback guitar playing of Walter Paz will be a true discovery for fans of The Who's Pete Townshend and even Sterling Morrison from The Velvet Underground. On the other hand, singer Pablo Luna was some sort of crazy hybrid between Iggy Pop and Reg Presley of the Troggs. He was a true character, and a stage animal, which was shocking for a place like Peru in the '60s. Years later, a Peruvian journalist wrote that during their career, Pablo had smashed a total of 48 microphones. But Los York's attitude was TRUE, and not a posture, unlike these days when scandal and outrage is a powerful marketing tool. Los York's were true rebellious souls, unstoppable and genuine. And their on-stage and off-stage behavior is still legendary in Peru. They got so famous that they even had their own TV show (El Show de Los York's) that aired for almost a year.'
