ORIGINAL MONO 1968 FIRST PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. "We"= Los Walkers = ..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. ARGENTINA - MUSIC HALL MONOFONICO 2-001
~ TOP COPY ~
Very rare in any condition, this 1968 (MONO) first print plays mint clean an oddity to find this album not abused as the case with rock artifacts from the '60's era South America.
Check facts, VG-ish copies are valued $150 and higher ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As was and is all too often the case, many of the universal rock music acts were buried to forever be forgotten, until the internet bridged the gap making possible virtually contact with anyone in any location... treasures appeared from the strangest places...
Enter as a case Los Walkers ... it's known fasting forward some 56 years later South America had an explosive, creative rock scene on par anywhere be it the USA, UK, etc.
The South American rock scene was relatively short lived when political rule suppressed and banned such "long-hair" artistry under penalty of death no less, ending a very creative wave of talents largely drawn from British rock influences, anywhere from beat-rock (garage rock in the U.S. on to psychedelia in the late 60's / early '70s where it became a political concern with the 'youth of today' becoming influenced by drugs and an alternate way of life beyond the "straight" system establishment.
Los Walkers managed three highly collectible albums from the short span of 1967 1968.
Highly influenced by the beat & pop-psych flower-power "swinging London" paisley scene, THE WALKERS combined a creative edge that bends minds some 50+ years later.
Their original records in the + 3 $figures range of value within global record collectors circles ...
Though we estimated "We, The Walkers" was their first of three great LP releases,
apparently it was their second album released in 1968.
A heavy British POP-PSYCH influence persists through both sides as noted by their song selections, all performed in their own unique style on level or better than the groups they followed.
Here's a great original 53 years ago first press when the South American teen-scene all but played-out and destroyed artifacts as this some 50+ years back, You can just imagine...
