Rewind [LP]

Los Mockers - Rewind [LP]

Completes the vinyl collection of Los Mockers, alongside the reissue of their original 1966 LP and their 2018 EP Some Silly Songs. This handful of tracks, previously unreleased or out of print, traces the journey of five teenagers who, clinging to rock and roll, became legends. Blending the raw energy of 1960s rock and roll with rhythm and blues roots and later-day musical maturity, Los Mockers left a lasting mark on the Río de la Plata scene from their explosive beginnings to their 21st-century comeback. Rewind brings together rare recordings spanning nearly sixty years: from mid-1960s demos and singles to reunion sessions recorded between 2006 and 2012, including deleted material and an unreleased live track. Side A captures the band's early fire, opening with a 1965 demo of "I Just Want to Make Love to You," recorded under their original name, Los Encadenados, at Radio Ariel in Montevideo. It also includes their first original singles, "I Wanna Go" and "My Baby," plus the unreleased "Girl You Won't Succeed" and a fast, distinctly Uruguayan take on "Paint It Black." Side B focuses on the reunion era recordings made in Valencia, Spain, where the band revisited their legacy with renewed strength and craftsmanship. Tracks like "Need Some Time," "40 Years Ago," and "The Chain" show a seasoned group still driven by authentic rock and roll spirit, while "25 Watts" pays tribute to filmmaker Juan Pablo Rebella. The album closes with a powerful 2012 live version of "Tell Me Something New." A1. I Just Want to Make Love to You A2. I Wanna Go A3. My Baby A4. I t Was Me A5. Girl You Won't Succeed A6.
