This is a highly-regarded Mexican garage-psych album. Originally only 200 copies were pressed, back in 1969. This was probably the result of a one-off deal with      Orfeon to see if the Mexican public could latch on to the new sounds. Unfortunately, they didn't, so the record was never pressed at the time in large quantities. 

Thanks to its recent limited edition Shadoks reissue, you can hear this album again in all its glory without taking out a second mortgage and you won't be disappointed. 

All the lyrics are in English. The best tracks are Hang Out, a garage-punker with a fine organ intro and some sound effects; P.S. Come Back, an up-tempo, organ-led, garage-punker; Let Me Try, featuring more great garage organ which builds into a climax;Colours, (possibly its magnum opus) with superb whispered vocals, guitar/organ interplay and sound effects and the lengthier Once Upon A Time There Was A World, which features longer periods of guitar/organ interplay and a (spoken) vocal style similar to California's Maze. Recommeded
