Andrew Sandoval last week did a spotlight on Los Shakers on his program, Come To The Sunshine. It's easy to google and download on podomatic. All I've ever been able to get were copies of 3 reissues of the main albums and some bonus tracks on each. I'd love for there to be some sort of complete recordings box. The cds I have are a hodge-podge of mono/stereo mixes. But yes, track them down. There are no bad songs. They're like a bonafide Rutles.
