Jorge Leiva recounts Los Blops’ history and legacy: The song was from the “ebut from the experimental folk/rock band in the revolutionary days of the late 60’s in Chile” ( ) - so revolutionary that Los Blops were booed by right-wing audiences, considered “sh*tty hippies”, but at the same time viewed with distrust by the Communists because of “their rather hippie orientation, their open sympathy towards marijuana, and their lack of greater commitment”!

I originally posted this track a couple years ago on my now-defunct Newstalgia site. I realize there are a bunch of you out there who are new to this site, never having heard of the old one, so all this is new to you.Īnd even if you’ve been following the old site, this is still a great almost totally unknown track by a band that quick got pigeonholed as a One-Hit Novelty Act. Which was a shame, as The Rainy Daze had a lot more to say than merely Acapulco Gold (their big claim to fame). Now theres Acapulco Gold for everyone BTW, someone mentioned Lets Go Get Stoned but that is clearly about alcohol. Tonight it’s the follow-up single, first issued in May of 1967 under the title Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum and later reissued around August as Blood of Oblivion.

Sadder, this track never wound up on the debut Rainy Daze album and has subsequently never been reissued by anyone even recently (as far as I know). Making matters worse, the original 4-track masters were destroyed in the great fire at Universal City a couple of years ago. So the likelihood of hearing a Stereo version of this track are remote at best.īut with all that in mind, you can’t keep a great song down and this is one of the many overlooked classics that are hidden away on the b-sides of singles, or the dusty tape shelves or the initially poorly received follow-up singles.
