What their label says...

* Sandhy & Mandhy “Para Castukis”: Here at last is a chance to discover why people have been willing to pay a very
steep price to hear Sandhy & Mandhy, the duo who were not a duo, the band who were not a band, creators of perhaps
the rarest and most expensive album from Argentina.

* To tell the story of Sandhy & Mandhy, we have to go back to 1967, when Alberto Infusino (Sandhy) and Alberto
Vanasco (Mandhy) began their musical partnership in the beat band The New Free Men. Like many bands ofthat time,
Los Shaker’s and Los Walkers for example, the New Free Men played covers of songs by the Zombies, Animals, Kinks,
Yardbirds, Doors, and so on, in clubs and at parties. Yet at the same time, Infusino and Vanasco started to play their own
compositions, with a national touch to the music.

* And so thirty-eight years after the burst of improvisation that was Sandhy & Mandhy, the rest of the world can finally
take a taste of their dark, groovy, beat-influenced psychedelia (that fuzz guitar on the excellent ‘Lluvia’!). At times
introspective and acoustic, at others manic and ramshackle in the best way, it’s quite a discovery.

* Now, on to the presentation—the highest quality mastering and pressin(done at Acoustech Mastering/RTI in California,
the same people who master and press every title that audiophile label Classic Records makes); the resulting LP is
housed in a poly-lined sleeve, inside an ultra-heavy 1960's style gatefold jacket, which is housed in a loose-fitting plastic
sleeve. Inside the sleeve, you will find an insert with full details on Sandhy & Mandhy, including lyrics in Spanish and
English, printed on 100% recycled paper. The LP labels are replicas of the originals. A top of the line pressing all the way. Limited edition of 800 copies.
