Los Apson Legendary Latino Rock’n’Rollers 1963-1964 (LP, 10inch)

(Sleazy Records) 19 tracks

A fantastic selection—perfect for discovering, on a single record, one of the best rock ’n’ roll bands Mexico has ever produced, a band that still receives far too little attention, especially regarding its prolific early years.

Sleazy Records has compiled the band’s early work on this stunning 10-inch release, featuring 10 tracks recorded between 1963 and 1964, when the group from Agua Prieta, Sonora, performed as a septet.

Their sound evolved from traditional rock ’n’ roll—influenced by artists like Johnny & The Hurricanes and Chuck Berry—toward more British-style sounds, although they mostly played Spanish-language versions of songs that were originally released in English.
