Gear Fab ventures into the vastly untapped bands of South America on this album recorded in Mexico City in 1967. The band was actually comprised of musicians from the U.S., Canada, Mexico & Holland, and they recorded this collection of cover tunes, all sung in English. It includes the songs "Ruby Tuesday," "Kind of a Drag," "I'm a Believer," "Happy Together," "I'm Down" & others. With a distinctive garage band edge, this largely unknown & ultra-rare album is not even listed in any record collector encyclopedias.
