LOS GIN FIZZ

With Lucio Milena Y Su Conjunto

 

SIDE A:     PULGARCITO

SIDE B:     DESPRECIADO

                                   

MEGARARE and HARD-TO-FIND original Columbia Records very first 33 1/3 PROMOTIONAL Mono press released, made and distributed in Argentina in 1962 by Columbia Argentina S.R.I., catalog number 321.063, with machine etched matrix numbers CAS 212 in Side A and CAS 213 in Side B, with traditional white/black Columbia Records labels of the period and solid center. Yes, Sirs, ANOTHER FIND from South America!!!

“Pulgarcito” was released in 1962 by Los Gin Fizz, one of the pioneers of Argentinian rock, with song “Despreciado” as Side B. Song titles are written in Spanish, with full credits for songwriters and additional information about rights society and style of music of each song, “Cha Cha Cha” for “Pulgarcito” and “Rock-Twist” for “Despreciado”. This band, Los Gin Fizz, as far as I know, never released a LP, only singles, and this is a PROMO copy with white labels, with red text “DISCO PROMOCIONAL – PROHIBIDA SU VENTA” (“PROMOTIONAL RECORD – SALE FORBIDDEN”) in both labels. So, here you have the chance to get and own this MEGARARE ARGENTINIAN PRESS of this single by Los Gin Fizz, a record rarely seen and auctioned here in eBay only a pair of times. A MUST TO HAVE for all fans, lovers and collectors of early Latin Rock ‘N’ Roll/Twist and Cha Cha Cha music of the ‘60’s and especially for all fans, lovers and collectors of Los Gin Fizz and Lucio Milena!!!

This record doesn’t have a cover. The record is in nice VG- or VG condition both sides, glossy and clean, with loads and loads and loads of scuffs, soft hairlines and light scratches of all sizes and in all directions, which don’t affect play at all. Labels on both sides are in great VG+ or EX- condition the Side A, clean and clear, with some spindle hole wear, evident age browning and faint blemishes, and in VG or VG+ condition the Side B, almost same condition as Side A, but age browning and blemishes a bit more evident and the name of a past owner written at left side. The sound is in strong VG or even VG+ condition both sides, loud, clear and clean, virtually no background noise, with constant soft crackles and some occasional light clicks and pops here and there, which don’t cause major distraction from the loud and clear sound this record keeps from the beginning to the end. Overall, this is still a great record by Los Gin Fizz, in this MEGARARE and UNIQUE ARGENTINIAN PRESS, for sure not for Minty minds or audiophiles, but with a nice glossy look, clear and fully readable labels and a decent and respectable sound quality after about 61 years, which shouldn’t disappoint anyone and should satisfy any serious collector who knows the real level of rarity of this Argentinian single!!! Yes, Sirs, what a FIND!!! Click on the pictures to enlarge and see the labels and cover in detail. WOW!!!

Bid with confidence and don’t wait until the last second because you could lose the chance to get a real collectable record from Chile (South America) in superb condition like this copy is. You know South American records aren’t easy to get in good conditions, so HAPPY BIDDING and don’t let this record to go away… you could never see a so good copy of this record again… if you are lucky enough to see even another copy again…

Thanks for watching and bidding, good luck and best regards from Chile

 

_____________________________________________

 

We don’t use the generic “VG” most of South American sellers use to hide poor quality conditions or “NM” or “Mint” for records which aren’t even clean and sound less than a normal “VG” in professional standards. We use the Record Collector’s Grading System with a little modification: we don’t use MINT grade but for Sealed records and we can use a + or – to show a most professional accurate description.

 

MINT (M): I only use this grade for Sealed records.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in like new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality (only some very very very light hairlines caused for the record rubbing the sleeve). The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in like perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, maybe some surface marks which doesn’t affect play. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
