Reissue of the first album by The Sleepers, one of the most explosive mexican rock&roll bands ever. ‘Rock con Los Sleepers’ was originally released in 1961 on the Cometa label, when none of the sleeper members were over 19. Now your favourite psychotronic label Electro Harmonix gives you the oportunity (45 years later no less!!!) to get this fantastic piece of raw and primitive rock&roll from south of the border. New artwork and new album title ‘Zombie’, handy 10" vinyl format, eye catching full colour glossy jacket, and the great tunes of Los Sleepers debut album, with titles like "Spider Eyes", "The Road Rock", or the spooky (but romantic!) title track "Zombie" with The Sleepers predating The Cramps by 15 years!

Los Sleepers began their career in 1961 and gained certain popularity thanks to Hermanita, a Discos Alegría recording (Cometa, CL2). The band consisted of Arturo Aller Covarrubias (vocals, rhythm guitar), Willy Vallejo (drums), Rafael Miranda (lead guitar) and the now famous theater director Abraham Oceransky (bass and creator behind the anticipated Zombie).

Their next "sleepy" stage corresponds to Peerless (1963) with the album ‘Al ritmo de la lluvia’ (Eco 221) on which Jorge "Cupido" Darío (vocals), Enrique "Cubo" Muñiz (drums), José Luis "Foco" Serafín (bass, and currently the musician union's leader in Cancun), and Rafael Miranda (guitar) appear. The last phase corresponds to the Orfeón albums where only one album was recorded (EP-677) when we used to play at bars, music cafes (cafes cantantes) and accompany Erika Carlsson. Members included Rafael Miranda (rhythm guitar), Angel "Cartucho" Miranda (drums), Javier "Zoa" Flores (bass -who has been in dozens of groups from Juniors to Cosa Nostra and currently Natfalina), Héctor "Borrao" Martínez Garza (an extraordinary singer who disappeared but has been immortalized in Jodorowski's film El Topo), and me (on requinto). With the same lineup, plus a well-known black saxophonist, we tried to triumph like Snooky Flowers y sus Soul Brothers a A misunderstood group if ever there was one, which never recorded one album or even half an album. Later came extinction.
