This is one of the most obscure singles ever released in Venezuela in the '60s. The outstanding The Pets' original "El entierro de un hombre rico que murió de hambre" is one of the finest garage tunes to emerge from Latin America. Their stunning take on The Door's "Hello, I Love You" takes the B side. A garage DJs favorite! First time 45 reissue, audios remastered from the original tapes. It followed the global triumph of The Beatles that made the wave of beat groups get bigger and bigger and lots of new bands emerged, some of which would last while others would definitively go into oblivion, and a small number of them would leave at least one recording that today is considered a highly valuable collector's item. This is the case of The Pets. The band's only album, released in 1967, shows perfectly what the influences of the Venezuelan nueva ola (new wave) scene were at the time, including versions of The Doors, Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Paul Revere & The Riders.
