If you just started collecting the Eastside Sound or wanted a single LP which gave you an overview of this genre of music then this is a must have.
Released in 1983 on the Zyanya label and distributed by Rhino Records, The History Of Latino Rock Volume 1 (1956-1965) The Eastside Sound is a compilation album featuring the biggest stars to come out of the East Los Angeles area. The LP contains 16 dynamite tracks.
From the early artists Little Julian Herrera and Ritchie Valens to the early bands The Blendells, The Romancers and The Premiers to big acts Thee Midniters and Cannibal & The Headhnters all the big names are here on one album.
The front cover features a photo of the legendary Paramout Ballroom where many of these acts performed, The back cover features many rare photos of the artists.
Two of my favorites tracks are the Eastside classics "Queen of My Heart" by Rene and Ray and "Darling (Please Bring Your Love)" by the Salas Brothers.
