Product description

"Almendra," the self-titled debut album by Argentine rock band Almendra, is a seminal work that captures the essence of the late 1960s and early 1970s rock scene in Buenos Aires. Released on September 1, 1970, under RCA Records, this album is a cornerstone of Argentine and Latin rock, blending psychedelic and art rock elements with a distinctly local flavor. The album's 17 tracks, including standout songs like "Toma el Tren Hacia el Sur," "Camino Difícil," and "Aire de Amor," showcase the band's innovative approach to music, characterized by intricate instrumentation, poetic lyrics, and a fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds.

Almendra, formed in 1967, was one of the most influential rock groups of their time, and this album is a testament to their talent and creativity. The band's ability to weave complex musical arrangements with deeply personal and socially relevant lyrics set them apart from their contemporaries. "Almendra" is not just a collection of songs but a cohesive journey through the band's musical and lyrical prowess, reflecting the cultural and political landscape of Argentina during that era.

The album's duration of 1 hour and 19 minutes offers a rich and immersive experience, with each track contributing to the overall narrative. From the haunting melodies of "Agnus Dei" to the energetic rhythms of "Obertura (Obertura Beat)," the album showcases the band's versatility and depth. The 1970s vinyl release on RCA Vik (catalog no. LZ-1160) has become a collector's item, further cementing the album's legacy in the annals of rock history.

"Almendra" is a timeless piece of art that continues to resonate with audiences, offering a glimpse into the vibrant and revolutionary music scene of Argentina. Whether you're a fan of Latin rock, psychedelic sounds, or simply great music, this album is a must-listen that stands the test of time.

This is a 2017 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Mixed Feelings on Reissue

    2 out of 5 stars
    UkJapaluzHuyiDecember 31, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Awesome album and band! Sadly, this reissue isn't a genuine stereo mix. The sound quality is a bit flat and it's heavily compressed. It would be fantastic to have a remastered version from the original tapes someday.

  • Disqueria Find Delightful

    5 out of 5 stars
    nrfubsul82November 29, 2025United States🇺🇸

    In 2025, I stumbled upon a copy at Subterraneo Disqueria in Iquique, Chile. It must've been gathering dust for a while. Pulling the record out of the inner sleeve was quite the task. The sleeve left behind a bunch of paper bits on the disc. Plus, there were some light scratches on the record—I'm not sure if they were from the sleeve or not. But I managed to get it out without ruining the inner sleeve. I gave the record a good clean with a Humminguru right away, and I must say, I was pretty pleased! The record was almost spotless and quiet, just a few tiny pops here and there, nothing major. The mix seems pretty decent for a reissue to me. I have no clue where the source comes from, but I'd definitely take a reissue over a noisy original any day, especially since the music is mostly smooth and I can see how background noise would ruin the experience. So yeah, I'd totally recommend this one, in my opinion.

    In 2025, I stumbled upon a copy at Subterraneo Disqueria in Iquique, Chile. It'd probably been there for ages. Pulling the record out of the inner sleeve was quite the task.

    ayocxaxzuow_nenalylJanuary 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This reissue is absolutely gorgeous. It arrives with a sturdy white inner sleeve, which seems a bit excessive, but also includes a double-sided insert. The vinyl is mostly quiet and it's a delightful listen. I'd be thrilled to have this one on pink vinyl!

  • Stunning Reissue, Quiet Vinyl

    This reissue is absolutely stunning. It arrives in a hefty white inner sleeve, which feels a bit excessive, but also includes a double-sided insert. The vinyl is mostly quiet and offers a delightful listening experience. I'd be thrilled to have this on pink vinyl!
