The FIRST anthology of one of the most important South American bands of the 60's. With some of their albums released like bootlegs, this DOUBLE LP and CD (80 minutes!) recovers the best recordings that the band made from 1968 to 1971 for the legendary labels Sono Radio and Mag.
In "Yellow Sea Years" the evolution of the band can be fully appreciated, with their roots on the acid blues-rock born with Hendrix, Cream or Yardbirds, to a solid Latin-Rock filled with psychedelic touches and immensely inspired folk.
And finally you get the idea that, had they not been a Peruvian band, Traffic Sound would of course have NOT sounded like this. But it is also CLEAR that if they had come from a more "developed" country, they could have been one of the best known and most admired bands of their time. In fact they ARE!
With extensive liner notes by a person who was fully involved in their amazing history.
