LA CASA AZUL - Tan Simple Como El Amor (Reissue) - LP - Opaque Red Vinyl [JUN 28]

LP - Limited Edition Opaque Red Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve. Includes download code.  

Debut album from perfect pop artisans La Casa Azul. Sunshine-pop producer Guille Milkyway found the perfect performers for his sunny melodies in the five members of La Casa Azul - mixing  the spirit of 60's A&M productions with 70's disco music and 90's most refreshing europop.

Some albums are a big deal every time they are reissued. Every time we bring back a La Casa Azul release, looking back at how Guille Milkyway’s career has developed, and what an incredible and multifaceted artist he has become, it is even more exciting to enjoy his first steps. That’s why we are rereleasing his first two albums again, with the attention to detail and affection that define Elefant Records editions.

First, we are bringing back that Double-LP that we released for the label’s 25th anniversary, that included not only that marvellous first Mini-LP, “El Sonido Efervescente De La Casa Azul”, but also an incredible collection of demos, previously unreleased tracks, and the live songs from the “Viaje A Los Sueños Polares” radio program’s party in May of 2000. The double vinyl is sky blue colour for the occasion. That incredible album that includes hits that are already timeless classics like “Cerca De Shibuya”, “Galletas” and “Chicle Cosmos”.

But we’re not stopping there. We are also rereleasing “Tan Simple Como El Amor”, with a gatefold cover (fold-out like the original), and in red vinyl, because red is the colour of love. The album that came before the explosion, with gems like “Superguay”, “C’est Fini”, “En Noches Como La De Hoy” and “Como Un Fan”, and where Guille made it perfectly clear what a great composer and lover of music he is, slipping between styles, from Ye-Yé to Soft Pop, from folk to hustle, from the sound of A&M to the sound of the tambourine.

In 2024, the official release of the first La Casa Azul song turns 25. It is something that needs to be celebrated in style, and what better way than the reissue of these first songs to listen to them the best way possible, on gorgeous colour vinyl.
