{"product_id":"the-silver-pumpkins-psicofasico","title":"The Silver Pumpkins - Psicofásico","description":"\u003cp\u003eBolivia boasts an extraordinary musical legacy of raw, garage-driven '60s sounds. Alongside Peru, it was one of the South American countries where the greatest number of recordings in this style were released—captured with limited resources but overflowing with spontaneity, energy, and attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty of obtaining the records that were shaping the latest Anglo-American rock trends of the 1960s in many Spanish-speaking Latin American countries led to a proliferation of local bands covering their musical heroes. Well-known artists such as \u003cstrong\u003eCream\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJimi Hendrix\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eIron Butterfly\u003c\/strong\u003e were reinterpreted by countless groups, making these songs available to local audiences without having to rely on imported records reaching their countries. By so doing, these bands helped spread the cutting-edge rock music already making waves elsewhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this release particularly unusual is that the band chose to cover second-tier cult acts rather than the obvious classics—groups that only briefly cracked the U.S. Top 50 in the late '60s, such as \u003cstrong\u003eThe Seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e13th Floor Elevators\u003c\/strong\u003e. Originally released on the Bolivian \u003cstrong\u003ePsicofásico\u003c\/strong\u003e label, this exceptionally rare EP pairs The Seeds' garage anthem \u003cem\u003e‘Pushing Too Hard’\u003c\/em\u003e with the ferocious, immortal \u003cem\u003e‘You're Gonna Miss Me’\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eRoky Erickson\u003c\/strong\u003e and the 13th Floor Elevators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raw power of the original songs is pushed even further here by the rudimentary recording techniques and the limited instrumental skills of the very young members of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Silver Pumpkins\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a one-of-a-kind document—virtually impossible to find in its original pressing—that helps complete the picture of Bolivia's fascinating '60s rock scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-ever reissue.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUNSTER","offers":[{"title":"7 Inch Black Vinyl","offer_id":59336502739289,"sku":"SDZ-51962","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/0046987515_10.jpg?v=1788862347","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-silver-pumpkins-psicofasico","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
