The once ultra rare South American blues-rock LP "Dias de Blues," originally released in 1972 in Argentina on the Discos De La Planta label, is a slice of electric blues Latino style. I have never heard blues songs with vocals such as this before. I must say it did not change my listening experience in any way, the da blues is da blues baby.... any way you listen to it, and that is the bottom line when you love this kind of music. This LP does not offer anything extraordinary. What you will hear is an average album.

The unusual cover art makes this a tasty collector’s platter. The picture’s portrayal reminded me of something that Michelangelo may have painted on the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling.

Although this is not a particularly dazzling listening occurrence, it is the whole package.... rare and hard to find music, interesting artwork, and it is a pristine vinyl LP to proudly display in your blues collection.

Note: This is a Vinyl LP
