CD reissue, originally released in 1967. Los Vidrios Quebrados (something like "The Shattered Glasses") formed in 1965 by making their own instruments and playing at schools while they were in the Católica School of Laws. Odeon offered them a contract and they recorded their first single, Friend b/w She'll Never Know I'm Blue. In 1967, they record the legendary Fictions for RCA. This album is played with their own instruments. They cut, pasted, and arranged the frets of their guitars on their own pure intuition. They cut their strings out of steel wire rolls bought at hardware stores. They picked up the songs they wanted to play -- Beatles, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds, and a lot of Kinks stuff -- by going into a club, listening to them on a Wurlitzer jukebox, and going back home trying to remember the song. All songs were sung in English "to separate ourselves from the commercial music of that time", the so-called "Nueva Ola". They sang about everyday things such as "the lack of liberties, the fights caused just by the length of your hair", trying to be the spokesmen of a generation. They were indeed quite an intellectual band in their references and intentions. Though they had begun doing covers, all the songs in Fictions, recorded in a total time of nine hours, were written by themselves. The history of the band ended when Héctor Sepúlveda moved to London in 1969. Originally, they tried to go all together but the rest could not make it, and Héctor played in the streets for a while and opened once for Family at the Marquee. CD with remastered sound from the original master tapes.
