Reissue of the third album by Los Brincos, the best Spanish 60s pop band, aclaimed, then and now, as the Spanish Beatles.

But all of Larry Page's contacts weren't enough for the band to break through in the UK, where two singles were released on the producer's label, Page One. One of the tracks - 'Nobody Wants You Now', translation of the bitter 'Nadie te quiere ya' - has been featured on compilations for collectors such as "Circus Days: UK Pop-Sike Obscurities 1966-1970".
