Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Waitressboy]

Well that likely precludes Los Saicos, most of their output was 65-66. Although their final single released was in 69 so if they're going by the latest date of the last single it would work for a singles comp album. So actually nevermind it's totally Los Saicos. Confirmed.

Never heard about Los Saicos (but punk is not my kind of music). So I started looking for some info about them. I still don't like their music, but how cool that it's a band from Peru. I'm reading on this interview to the singer and bass player of the band that there's not unreleased music: they recorded only 12 songs, and they've been released on six 7". The '69 single was released under a different name and with a different formation. The singer actually call that song "apocryphal, with very few things of Los Saicos". Harsh.

The best thing about this Saicos speculation is that I teach Spanish, and this is an interesting story, so I'm going to develop an activity or two for class about the Peruvian proto-punks.

it was eclipsed by uzi dropping the album he's been hyping for 2 years

Not my cup of tea, and I certainly wouldn't deem it "essential" to my collection. And for context, I really enjoyed her last one - and already have tickets to her show in June.

tbh i'd take los saico

i like the singers grimey voice and though i'd consider it less punk in the way i classify it (not really fast, not really loud), it is certainly some nice rock n roll

and if my finding it on vinyl means its not there i would probably have bought it on vinyl if the international shipping fee wasn't as much as it is

What about: The Velvet Underground - The Legendary Guitar Amp Tapes?

- Proto Punk
- Never had an official Vinyl release
- From 1969
- Not sure VMP would do a live Bootleg, but it's a pretty famous VU boot, so maybe?

And any VU record would be an easy classification as Essentials.

Not to derail the Essentials convo, but VMP is now partnering with Huckberry.com (along with U-Turn Turntable and others).
A mix of Essentials & VMP Exclusives are listed on the site.
Just an FYI.

psych/hard rock vets Ice unearth lost 1970 album for release (stream a track)

The only actual release from Ice during their initial run was a 45 in 1972 (that came out under the name Zukus), but it turns out they had recorded an album in 1970 and it's now finally seeing the light of day...

Honestly, if it is this, I'm down.

That’s pretty cool but am I missing something? What ties this to 1968 or 69? And it would be a little silly for VMP to release this a month before a wide release.

I like it quite a bit. It does feel like it fizzles out a bit at the end, and I don’t love it as much as Loner, but it’s a pretty fun listen. Caroline’s humour lands well without seeming like a parody.
