(Evil
Ways)
MEGARARE and HARD-TO-FIND
original CBS Records very first Mono press released by CBS Records, made and
distributed in Chile in 1971 by Industrias Eléctricas Y Musicales Odeon S.A. (Odeon
Records), licensed from CBS, U.S.A., catalog number SCMD 11013, with hand etched
matrix numbers XSM-139377/5 in Side A and XSM-139377/2 in Side B, with
traditional orange/black CBS Records labels with small boxed CBS logo at top
and 4-prong push-out center. Yes, Sirs, ANOTHER FIND from Chile!!!
“Jingo” was originally
released by Santana in USA in 1970 and we had to wait until 1971 to see this so
classic single released in Chile. These songs were included in the first LP
released by Santana and they are versions of songs “Gin-Go-Lo-Ba” (in Yoruba
language, pronounced “Jin-Go-Low-Bah”) (“Don’t Worry” in English) by Nigerian
drummer Babatunde Olatunji (released in 1960) and “Evil Ways” by percussionist
Willie Bobo (released in 1967). Song titles are written in original language
“Jingo” and in Spanish, translated to English, the song “Evil Ways”, with full
credits for songwriters, play time of each song and original US catalog
number. It’s interesting to notice the matrix numbers take the original US
catalog number of the Side 1 of debut LP “Santana”, released in 1969, “XSM
139377” and add “/5” and “/2” in each side, those numbers show the place in
that Side of the LP, “Evil Ways” is the song number 2 and “Jingo” is the song
number 5. In labels that information is “band 5” and “band 2”. It’s also
interesting to notice that here in Chile, just like in all versions of the
period I know, the credit for songwriter is “J. Zack”, but that’s wrong. The
error appeared in original LP “Santana”, so the singles of the period also
replicated the error, the real songwriter is Clarence “Sonny” Henry, as
credited in original release by Willie Bobo. But we got an UNIQUE ERROR in
Chile too, in the original Chilean press the original US catalog number was misspelled “XMS 239377” in
Side B, it’s correctly written as part of the matrix number but in label it’s
misspelled. So, here you have the chance to get and own this MEGARARE CHILEAN PRESS
of this classic single by Santana,
with
Spanish-written titles and UNIQUE ERROR, a record almost never seen and maybe now
auctioned here in eBay by the very first time with the error already mentioned!!!
WOW!!! A MUST TO HAVE for all fans, lovers and collectors of Santana, Willie Bobo, Babatunde Olatunji and Psych
Rock, Latin Soul, Afrobeat and African Jazz music!!!
This record doesn’t have a cover. The record is
in VG- or VG condition both sides, glossy and clean, with loads and loads of
soft scuffs, hairlines and light and not so light scratches, one of them
crossing all the wax in Side B, which amazingly don’t affect play at all, with
the push-out center intact. Labels on both sides are in great EX+ or NM- condition
the Side A, clean and clear, with minimal spindle hole wear and a very faint
age browning, and in EX or EX+ condition the Side B, with light spindle hole
wear, some factory imperfections and initials written of a past owner. The
sound is the best part, it’s in strong EX+ or even NM- condition the Side A,
loud, clear and clean, virtually no background noise (surface noise is normal
in records from Chile), with some minimal occasional and barely audible soft
crackles here and there, more evident in the last seconds of the song, and in EX-
or EX condition the Side B, with constant soft crackles and less clicks and
pops that in Side A, which could cause some distraction but the sound still
keeps loud and clear from the beginning to the end, with a soft hiss more
evident in the first seconds of the song and constant soft crackles and a light
pop at the last seconds of the song. Overall, this is a great record in this
MEGARARE CHILEAN PRESS, with Spanish-written song title and UNIQUE ERROR, maybe
not for strict Minty minds or audiophiles, especially for the look of the wax,
but for sure this is still a great record with still a glossy look, almost
immaculate labels and great sound quality after about 53 years, which shouldn't disappoint anyone and should satisfy any serious collector who knows the real level of rarity of this Chilean issue. Yes, Sirs, what
a FIND!!! Click on the pictures to
enlarge and see the labels and cover in detail. WOW!!!

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. BAD (B): The record
is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a
collection-filler. PAYMENT Payment must be received within the first 5 (five) days after the auction is ended SHIPPING (Packing
and Postage) We have an unique value worldwide: GBP18 for weight until 0,5kg (usually 1 or 2
records 12" depending on thickness of the vinyl/sleeve) GBP25 for weight 0,5-1kg (usually 2 to 5
records 12" depending on thickness of the vinyl/sleeve) GBP12 for one 7” record All records will be packed outside of the
sleeve to avoid damages in the cover and all records will be sent with
tracking number via Small Packet or Parcel Post services. SHIPPING COST
ISN’T “4” – WAIT FOR MY INVOICE FEEDBACK We don’t have anything to hide and we know the
buyers expect to receive feedback after to pay for the items they win. Most
of sellers say to give feedback when buyers leave feedback first. But we know
that’s not fair for buyers. So, we leave feedback immediately after to
receive the payment, because we understand that’s the part that buyers must
receive feedback for. And we expect to receive positive feedback from buyers
who receive the records immediately after they have got the records. IMPORTANT TO READ
