THE McALLEN, TEXAS TEEN SCENE 1965-1967 (CICD-991)
$12.98 each .....
From 1965 to 1967, McAllen was the happening
scene for some of the wildest music to emanate from Texas in the 60’s. The label
that played host to these bands was Jimmy Nichol’s Pharaoh Records and this
album contains the best the label had to offer. Not only were the records
superlative, but today they are considered some of the rarest finds for
collectors of 60’s garage bands. Singles by Pharaoh artists such as The
Headstones, The Cavaliers, and Christopher and The Souls go for over a grand
apiece, if they can be located. Congregation For Anti-Flirts Inc. also contains
in depth coverage on the McAllen bands with rare photos, radio charts, and
interviews, making this album a journey to pharaoh’s valley that can’t be
missed. Pictured on the front cover are The Cavaliers (from left to
right-Richard Mancilla-rhythm guitar, Javier Rios-lead singer, Richard Vandever-drums,
Frank Barrera-lead guitar, and Louie Gomez-bass).
