July 1971, Telegraph Avenue eponimus debut album appears on the market to become the best seller rock record of the year. This four pieces outfit kick Peruvian scene with four different vocal melodies in english, mixed together with killer guitars and latin grooves. This album contains the hit single: "Something going". Time was right for latin rock with psychedelic touches, and this new band with only original tunes had a great debut with this album. Their songs sound like Grand Funk’s early records, but some others have vocal melodies like Southern rock or West Coast style. Guitars saturate the amplifiers at the top of their tunes, using natural distortion and feedbacks, latin bass lines, powerful drums and latin flavored percussions filling all songs with the uniqueness of their sound. When this band breaks up, drummer and singer form a band with two argentine friends called: Tarkus (Repsychled CD 1007).

35 years later, peruvian label Repsychled Records, has the pleasure to make the definitive reissue of this album. This renewed reissue includes the original artwork on Mini LP CD format, a booklet with unseen photos, records and souvenirs from their concerts, one extra insert with biography, and one unreleased song from 1972 called: It’s OK. This one was done using the sound taken from the original master tapes and remastered very carefully with tube amplifiers. Enjoy listening to this CD like if you are playing the original vinyl, looking and sounding better than ever, and with all the extra bonus stuff.
