AGUATURBIA
"S/T"
AGUATURBIA "Volumen 2"
Replica LP editions of
both albums (both first released in 1970), by
one of the best and most important psychedelic
bands to emerge from South America in the late
60’s/early 70’s. It is impossible to indicate
just how revolutionary they were—but the fact
that the band were naked on the cover of their
debut, and crucified their singer on the cover
of their second album may give you an idea.
The band’s first album was recorded live in
1969 in a simple three-track studio. In a
strict Catholic country, the album’s front
cover showing the band sitting nude in a
darkly lit room caused quite a stir; record
shops refused to stock the record and the
press and Church both censored it. And the
music rattled a few people too: raw, with
heavy rhythms, bursts of distortion and fuzz,
fantastic phased female vocals (inviting the
inevitable comparison to Jefferson Airplane),
and English lyrics. The band's guitarist
Carlos Corales is superb, his skill most
evident on the erotic ‘Erotica’ and the
ten-minute long mini-epic ‘Crimson And
Clover,’ which finds his wife Denise in superb
vocal form. The second Aguaturbia album (1970)
is, if anything, even heavier than the first:
many compare it to Led Zeppelin for heaviness
and intensity. The band offered up some heavy
jams, with fuzzed out guitar work, spaced out
vocals and general acid madness. Our replica
LP versions are housed in heavy 1960's style
tip-on jackets; inside you will find a four
panel insert, printed on 100% recycled paper,
with comments and plenty of photos from the
band members (in English and Spanish), plus
historical background on the Chilean rock
music scene. The LP labels are replicas of the
Arena label originals. Limited editions of
1,000 copies (each title).
