LOS BRAVOS: BLACK IS BLACK
Original American MONO pressing on PRESS RECORDS (PR 73003)
RARE and CLEAN: thick grainy cover in excellent condition and the record is in near mint condition.
The rare MONO release offers different song mixes from the stereo issue as well as a big bold punch in the sound production that is suitable for the beatrocking sounds of '66. This beatrock classic contains the massive hit 'Black Is Black' which some 45 years later almost every listener still digs ...
Los Bravos formed in 1966, on the outer cusp of the British Invasion. The group was led by former Mike & the Runaways singer Michael Volker Kogel (born in Berlin, Germany, in 1944). The other four original members -- bassist Miguel Vicens Danus, guitarist Tony Martinez, organist Manuel Fernandez, and drummer Pablo Sanllehi -- had all been working together previously in the Spanish group Los Sonors. Upon coming together to try their hand at cracking the English-speaking European pop market, this new configuration changed their name for a one-off single on Columbia Records' Spanish division before they eventually signed with Decca Records' Spanish division. They were assigned to work with successful British producer Ivor Raymonde (who had already scored numerous U.K. hits with Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, Dave Berry, and others) in England. The result of this union of talent and proven production skills produced the band's first single, the rhythm-driven "Black Is Black," that same year. It shot up the charts to number two in the U.K. and on August 10, 1966, it charted on Billboard and CashBox. Soon the band enjoyed moderate to major success around the world. The Lp that included the massive hit was filled with inspired tracks in the same vein making for one of the great, often unsung Invasion rockers & ravers of the sixties ...here is a 45 year old first pressing
