AWESOME!!!!!.......2005-06-25

Great album but i can not find it anywhere........if u like the beatles and do not care about understanding the lyrics....you should try to find a copy and save one for me(Just Kidding!)

Excelente.......2003-04-13

Tengo la discografía completa en vinilos y cd. Sé que el propio Hugo Fattoruso no tiene buenos recuerdos de Los Shakers... Era la época de Los Beatles y se nota su influencia, pero ¿Quién pudo componer en estilo Beatle pero con nuevos aires y finísimos arreglos? Solamente Los Shakers. Lejos, lejísimo están los pesados de Oasis de alcanzar esta brillantez.
Compren este disco y sean felices.

Awesome collection.......2003-03-01

It's a shame that it's taken this long for this collection to come out. As a teenager going to dance parties in Montevideo (Uruguay) in the late 80's, I remember many DJ's would play 'Break it all' among 60's classics. For sometime I thought it was The Beatles singing, but it was The Shakers instead! I couldn't get any of their albums back then, and also failed to find them in many visits to Montevideo since.
This album is an amazing deal with over 30 songs! These guys were technically gifted and managed to come up with some great sounding songs even though they could barely speak English.
I think this is a must for anyone who remembers old Shakers songs and also for Beatles fans who are tired to buy rehashed collections of their classics. Many of the songs in the album sound just as if John & Paul had written them, and as if the Fab 4 were playing them.

But where's the Spanish-language stuff???.......2003-01-15

As Beatles imitators go, Uruguay's Los Shakers were an unparalleled band. Four kids from Montivedeo who absolutely worshipped the Fab Four, Los Shakers had the good fortune to sign with EMI's Odeon label in 1964, at the peak of Beatlemania. This not only meant that they could put out singles and tour throughout South America, they also got first dibs on covering Beatles songs -- and getting their cover version out *before* the original version English version got to market in Latin American! Although The Shakers were hands above their local competitors, their music has been near impossible to find for decades (a friend of mine once made a trek to Uruguay in the 1980s and looked for Shakers albums, only to be told they'd been out of print for years...) This sparkling collection generously provides over thirty of the Shakers' best original songs, most of which are were sung in off-kilter English. Old-time fans (all twenty of us) will be mildly disappointed that this current CD doesn't include any of their kitschy cover tunes, but the self-penned material has plenty of loveably blatant Beatles-isms on its own. Still, let's hope that a second album's worth of Spanish-language cover tunes is also in the works.

SHAKERS, POR FAVOR? GRACIAS!.......2002-04-20

The Shakers were called 'The Beatles del Rio de la Plata', but that's not giving them their due. They're closer to that point where the Beatles, Hollies and Zombies intersect, but that's not giving them their due either. Coming from musical backgrounds covering classical, tango and swing, they had the facility to appropriate the Beatles sound from 'Hard Days Night' thru 'Sgt. Pepper' and create their own brilliant original stuff.

I was a kid in South America in the mid-60s and their first album was a soundtrack for me - but apart from an odd single or two afterward it was all I'd heard from them. Finding this anthology was like finding a 35-year old Christmas present under the couch! English was apparently the official language for pop groups of the time and they give it their best, but pronunciation and conjugation make deciphering lyrics a chore that requires repeated listening (really not a chore). The first LP's sound is dismissed in the liner as a 'reverberating non-production' but it evokes the smoky underground dance club of my dreams and suits the feel of the songs perfectly. Cuts from their second album are as bold and clever as anything put out in 1966. Their last album's cuts are alternately mirthful and grand - wish I'd heard more, especially their more indigenous numbers. The extensive liner notes are a nice plus, but they make me restless to find the cuts not included here, as well as their later, post-Shaker releases. A cover or two would've been nice too - after the fact, I vote for their take on Del Shannon's "Keep Searching".
