Opus (Surco) 1005 / 1969 / Argentina

.......... (Promotional)

Muelle Rojo (Red Pier) b/w Transito De Las Cinco (Five O'Clock Traffic)

1st and only pressing released in 1969 on Surco, Argentina. As usual in this region, the record spins at 33-rpm, and the titles are translated into Spanish. The A-side opens with Red Pier, which was taken from the album Phases and Faces, which surely needs no introduction. One of the most sought-after albums of the decade, and a true masterpiece, which was originally released in 1969 on Forte, an obscure record label from Grand Rapids, Michigan. The flipside contains Five O'Clock Traffic, not included on their one and only album. And it's hard to believe that at the same time of their original release, something like this has emerged from South America, but here's the SHOCKING proof! Opus was a small and ephemeral local label, and this release only got a ridiculously limited run. It comes housed in its original company sleeve, of which very few were made, and is always missing. Again, how one of the more obscure top U.S. psych groups has got a release in South America, is something far beyond mortal understanding. This would be definitely ONE of the centerpieces of anyone's psych 45s collection!
