Serie de Oro: Grandes Exitos

EMI gold series greatest hits from Uruguayan rock group. The concept of a Uruguayan band in the mold of the Hard Day’s Night-era Beatles may seem absurd, but it did happen in the mid-’60s. The Shakers were fairly successful in mimicking the jangle of the early Beatles sound, writing most of their material with British Invasion essentials of catchy tunes and enthusiastic harmonies. They were understandably unable to compete on an international scale, although their 1966 album, “Break It All”, was actually issued in the United States. Today they enjoy respect from hardcore ’60s collectors.
