Vacation find #3

Well, on our trip through Spain and Portugal we stayed in seven different cities, and found records for sale in three of them.  Seville had actual record stores, Lagos had a music store, and Segovia had a collectibles store that was mostly coins and stamps, but also had some antiques and a small box of records.  Here in the states, if you go into a shop and it has a small box of records, it's usually not worth even looking in - they tend to be dusty cast-offs with broken covers and scratched vinyl, something the store-owner's neighbor pulled out of their attic or something.  I've seen water damaged, broken, scratched, coverless records for sale for five bucks, right?

Not here.  These records were all in pristine shape - flawless, glossy vinyl from the 70s.  We found two great singles here, one of which is by a band called Yoyi.  The single is "Bananas."  The B-side is a song called Copacabana, but it's not the Barry Manilow song, it's their own psychedelic Cuban funk song.

The cover is what sold us on the record, but the music keeps bringing me back for more.
