Both the album's title and cover are a bit misleading. You would expect British Invasion and what you get is Spanish-language covers of mostly American artists in a hard-hitting soul style with tight horns and driving back beat and there ain't nothing wrong that! The album starts with a cover of James And Bobby Purify's "I'm Your Puppet (Cuando Vuelves)" and includes other great numbers like Al Wilson's Northern Soul classic "The Snake (La Víbora)," and "Funky Broadway (Frío y Alocado en Broadway)." The album explores some other styles as well with great success. It gets pretty rockin' sometimes, as on their cover of Big Brother And The Holding Company's "Combination of the Two (Combinación de Dos)," which also features some insane stereo panning on the drums! There's also an incredibly funky and convincing cover of Sly & The Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song." Most definitely worth checking out!
