Los Vidrios Quebrados - She'll Never Know I'm Blue / Friend (1966) [Mono Single]

Los Vidrios Quebrados - "She'll Never Know I'm Blue" b/w "Friend"

Original 1966 mono 45 RPM Chilean single
Odeon – MSOD 3759  (Discogs)
~ThePoodleBites rip in 96 kHz / 24 bit FLAC + high-res scans!~

Man, it's been too long since I've made a post here. Over the past few months I've been recording raw rips like a wild man, and hundreds of hours are now stored on my hard drive ready for clean-up. As I slowly began working myself through this backlog, I also borrowed this rare South American 45 from the Record Phantom for a YouTube upgrade, leading to this post.

Both of these songs are non-album tracks and also non-comp, though the A-side is the clear winner entre los dos (the flip sounds like it's being sung by Fes from That '70s Show). Upon playback, the early Beatles records that were in rotation in Chile as much as everywhere are refracted through the voices of Los Vidrios Quebrados (The Broken Glassware) in a contemporary garage beat-pop manner. Despite the poor English, and despite this not being "psych," I figured that it still has a broad enough interest to be shared here.

Many thanks to C.F. for contributing the 45 for this post!  :)
