The complete recordings from Lima's Los Saicos - six singles from 1965-66 that invented garage punk before anyone had a name for it, with a 12-page full-color booklet.
For fans of: The Sonics, The Cramps, Black Lips, The Stooges, Question Mark & The Mysterians
LP version with a 12-page full-color booklet with extensive notes and unseen photos. "With only six singles released between 1965 and 1966, and from an apparently remote place such as Lima, Peru, Los Saicos created a raw, wild and visceral sound, the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of the garage rock that was coming out of the U.S. Northwest at the same time. Theirs is the same DNA shared by The Sonics, The Cramps and Black Lips. This release compiles all their recordings and tells their amazing story. This snarling maelstrom of nihilism was cut in Lima when the rest of the world was wetting itself over The Beatles, direct links to both The Stooges and The Cramps here and several more equally-enthralling combos." --Lindsay Hutton
