Grupo Oz - Grupo Oz (1972/2011) [Vinyl]

In 1971 a group of studio musicians calling themselves Grupo Oz in Mexico City got together and recorded a collection of originalpsych-funk tunes in their home town. Their songs were all in English and they actually sounded natural singing in English. Their label Discos Raff orchestrated the release of the record in Latin America as well as Spain, but always kept the U.S. market it's top priority. In fact, most of the 1,500 units that were pressed ended up in the US. By early 1972 the band's crossover success hadn't materialized and the label seized all promotional efforts for the record. All of the players went back to their usual studio work and Grupo Oz disappeared forever. Today however, the legend of the psych-funk band from Mexico City has spread throughout the world. Now, original pressings of their one and only LP sell for $200+ on eBay. This high quality reissue comes with a free download of the entire album plus two bonus tracks. It is wrapped in a custom die cut obi to add a new design element without compromising the integrity of the original design and comes sealed in a resealable dust bag.
