Formed in Mexico City in 1960, LOS BOPPERS were one of Mexico's most popular indigenous rock & roll groups between 1961-1962. Their forte was Spanish language covers of contemporaneous American rock & roll hits, and they registered the Mexican hit versions of songs like 'Lonesome Train', 'Blueberry Hill', 'A White Sport Coat' and 'Dream Lover'. Their joint lead singers, Francisco 'Paco' Cañedo and Ricardo 'Elvisito' de la Garza Ramírez, were their key members, before setting out on successful solo careers in 1963. They recorded three LPs, 'Colina Azul', 'Rock' and 'Sesion De Rock Con Los Boppers', plus a handful of singles. This compilation features virtually all their recordings, including their hits and other well-known numbers. This is all seriously rare, collectors' material, virtually impossible to find elsewhere, and around a third of these sides have never previously appeared on CD.
