Disco sorpresa Fundador - Canciones de nuestro tiempo - Cara B

Portada

I’ve been listening to this all afternoon. I actually recommend it earnestly, most of all in a sunday evening. Well this is one example of one of many of this 45 rpm sixties records that were given as a present by the manufacturers of Fundador cognac, the company Pedro Domecq. One special thing about them is they always had this jingle somewhere in between the songs revealing the goodness of these spirits and, if being lucky, you could get to win a prize. The jingle changed in case the record was prized. Never listened to one of those yet. The other songs were from common bands or national talents like Manolo Escobar. There were also some (in fact a lot) of them with kind of a more modern styled music to that date artists than the other ones, like here Los Pekenikes or Los Pumas. I strive to believe that these songs (and others from the gifted EPs, like the covers by Tony Jackson Y Los Showcase) were of great influency in our beloved spanish pop music culture. I’m not an expert though. But for sure they were of the appeal of bands like Radio Futura or, even, Cooper.  A lot of them were covers, like in here Little Honda, now sung in spanish. To be honest, I prefer this EPs to a lot of new bands.
