JOAQUIM COSTA
The first commercial release of this hardly known Portuguese Rocker, Joaquim Costa. This is his lost record, never released before. Only two copies of a 78 RPM were made for promotion in 1959. One of them burned in a fire at the label house. Now we have mastered the only copy left (the possible copy, because the original record is in really bad condition. The recording sounds like early blues releases from the 1930s). Joaquim Costas influences are first HASIL HADKINS recordings, CARL PERKINS or JACK STARR, and of course, THE CRAMPS.
He is for sure one of the oldest Rockers alive, with 72 years old. He started to sing in the late 50s, listening to Jukebox records and learning the lyrics from soundtracks of movies, like the ROCK ROCK ROCK, or THE WILD ONE with Marlon Brando. He started to play in 1958 in shows at FEIRA DA ESTRELA by the hand of the famous Portuguese producer at the time, Leitao de Barros. This release is a rarity for these days, a must for collectors of rock'n'roll and psychobilly, and appreciators of weird rock'n'roll...
The art work was made by Joaquim Costa himself in the 1980s, when he found the copy then lost for almost 30 years in an antique fair in Lisbon. This EP came with inserts, photos, bios and other material from Joaquim Costas own collection of memorabilia of the small Portuguese rock scene of the 50's. A must for any collector of vinyl records. This Deluxe release includes five tracks, two from 1959 and three from 1978, recorded only with voice and guitar. Total Rock'n'Roll.
