Any music junkie I've ever met has it - their holy grail - the album they heard about or maybe once had that is the recording they now search for in every record store they enter. With the Internet comes the search on Amazon, Amazon UK and eBay (tho' I would say these searches are not nearly as enjoyable as flipping through the bins).My holy grail of recent years: Rare Mexican Cuts from the Sixties. I once had the album and then *poof* gone. I don't know if it went out on loan to someone who disappeared from my life or if it vanished in a move -- all I know is that when I go to my wall of CDs, it's not there. Of course, as soon as the CD went missing, all I wanted to hear were Mexican garage bands from the '60s covering The Rolling Stones, The Doors and others.
I came close to recovering this lost gem a few times including almost locating it through Waterloo Records in Austin ... but, ultimately, no Rare Mexican Cuts. Although, I did often stumble upon other musical treats because of my search including Los York's Los York's 68.
Tonight, thanks to garage60s.blogspot.com, I'm now listening to Bajate De Mi Nube - translation Get Off of My Cloud. Sure, I'll still search for the CD so that it's back in my collection where it belongs but, until then, I've got the songs!
