Pets, The
The Pets
This is one of the most obscure records ever released in Venezuela in the '60s and the only recording of The Pets. It
followed the global triumph of the Beatles that made the wave of beat groups gets bigger and bigger and lots of new
bands emerged, some of which would last while others would definitively go into oblivion, and a small number of them
would leave at least one recording that today is considered a highly valuable collector's item. This is the case of The
Pets. Originally, they were not called The Pets, but The Playboys, and basically the group was formed to liven up the
parties and gatherings at Casa Italia, a very important institution in Los Teques, near Caracas, where they formed. At
one of these parties, they were heard by a representative of the Discomoda label who insisted on recommending the group
to the company, completing the signing of their contract almost immediately. This 1967 album shows perfectly what the
influences of the Venezuelan nueva ola (new wave) scene were at the time, including versions of The Doors, Beatles,
Rolling Stones, Paul Revere & The Riders -- as well as the outstanding original "El Entierro De Un Hombre Rico Que Murio
De Hambre," one of the finest garage tunes to emerge from Latin America. First time reissue, audios remastered from the
original master tapes. First time reissue, audios remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl.
