about

The recording debut of Elia and Elizabeth (or Elisabeth, as it appears originally credited in the first edition of this single) took place in Spain in 1971 with Juan Carlos Calderón, one of the most prestigious producers and arrangers in the country.
These first versions of “Fue Una Lágrima” and “Cae la Lluvia” appear full of rich and intrincated orchestral arrangements, a very different approach to both songs from the tropical feel that producer Jimmy Salcedo added when they were later re-recorded for Codiscos in his native Colombia. The duo would record there a handful of songs between 1972 and 1973 (compiled in our past release “La Onda de Elia y Elizabeth” VAMPI 160), mixing soft-pop with a touch of tropical-pastoral funk, singer-songwriter sweetened by the subtle perfume of Caribbean music and psychedelia, which remain among us as part of the most wonderful pop legacy of all time.

These early versions of two of the most celebrated songs by Elia and Elizabeth are reissued here for the first time, with remastered sound and housed in a picture sleeve with the original artwork.

---------------------------------------------

El debut discográfico de Elia y Elizabeth (o Elisabeth, como aparece acreditada originalmente en la primera edición de este single) tuvo lugar en España en 1971 con Juan Carlos Calderón, uno de los productores y arreglistas de mayor prestigio en el país.
Estas primeras versiones de ‘Fue una lágrima’ y ‘Cae la lluvia’ aparecen repletas de complejos arreglos orquestales, ofreciendo una aproximación a ambas canciones muy diferente a los aires tropicales que aportó el productor Jimmy Salcedo cuando posteriormente se volvieron a grabar para la disquera Codiscos en su Colombia natal. Allí el dúo firmaría un puñado de canciones entre 1972 y 1973 (recopiladas en nuestro lanzamiento “La Onda de Elia y Elizabeth” VAMPI 160), mezclando soft-pop con toques de funk tropical-pastoral, canción de autor aromatizada con el perfume del caribe y la delicada psicodelia, que permanecen entre nosotros como uno de los legados más maravillosos del pop de todos los tiempos.

Estas versiones primigenias de dos de las canciones más conocidas de Elia y Elizabeth se reeditan aquí por primera vez, con sonido remasterizado y su portada original.

Another golden compilation from AA! Great introduction to Afro-Colombian psychedelia via the Discos Machuca back catalogue. These songs are full of infectious percussion, trance-inducing rhythms, sun-soaked melodies, and hauntingly beautiful vocals. Hard to pick a favourite song, but I've played side D the most. j j headington
