Our 25th anniversary year has come and gone, but our collection of re-releases to celebrate such an important moment still has a lot to offer. We have already included artists like LA CASA AZUL, FAMILY, LA BIEN QUERIDA, TREMBLING BLUE STARS, LE MANS and JUNIPER MOON, among others, and old and new fans alike have quenched their thirsts. Álex Diez himself participated with COOPER, but now we have some fantastic new re-releases, at a very special moment. There have been diverse celebrations for the 30-year musical career of one of the most respected musicians on the national scene (not only among the mods): from the release of the album-book “Popcorner: 30 Años Viviendo En La Era Pop” (Popcorner: Thirty years living in the pop era) which was an entusiastic review of different moments in the discography of both LOS FLECHAZOS and COOPER, right up to that concert that took place in La Riviera (Madrid) in February (and they already have several more dates planned) – an emotional, exciting concert that brought the discographic review to life. And we have another little grain of sand to offer the celebrations, with the re-releases of LOS FLECHAZOS’ albums on the Elefant label between 1995 and 1996: “Alta Fidelidad” and “Días Grises”. Both will be released as LP + CD format, up to 1000 numbered copies of each, on color vinyl with extra tracks. “Alta Fidelidad” has two extra tracks, “Stop! In T [ Read more ]

We couldn’t let the date pass. With the label having just turned 25, with a collection to commemorate it containing names so far like LA CASA AZUL, TREMBLING BLUE STARS and LE MANS, and with the celebration of the 30 years of Álex Diez’s musical career, we couldn’t resist making a re-release of LOS FLECHAZOS material that was released on Elefant Records. Both the Mini-LP “Días Grises” and “Alta Fidelidad” will see the light again, in LP + CD format, on color vinyl, 1000-copy, numbered, limited-editions, with extras.

“Alta Fidelidad” was the grand entrance of the group from Leon to Elefant, the sixth full-length in their career, and ultimately their last. They were a group who carried the banner of so many of the precepts and ideas that define the way Elefant Records understands music, acheiving a lot without having to sacrifice their influences and their personality. The group at the time consisted of Francisco Vila (bass), Miguel Manero (drums), Elena Iglesias (keyboards) and Álex Diez (guitars), and they wrote what is undoubtably one of the best albums of their discography, which contains many of their regular qualities: great melodies, highly effective harmonies, and respect for pop, soul, and garage sounds. The album contained some of the biggest hits of their repertoire, like the perfect bullseye that is “En Tu Calle”, the rock’n’rolltouches of “Pussycat”, or th [ Read more ]

We’re moving forward with our collection of re-releases for Elefant Record’s 25th anniversary (which has already included names like LA CASA AZUL, TREMBLING BLUE STARS and LE MANS), and along with the re-release of LOS FLECHAZOS’ “Alta Fidelidad”, celebrating Álex Diez’s 30-year musical career, we are also releasing another of their great albums from Elefant Records, the Mini-LP “Días Grises”, which pushed the group from León onto the international stage. The re-release is in LP + CD format, on white vinyl, with a limited run of 1000 numbered copies, and extras.

Songs like “Cansado”, “Solo En Casa”, and “Fiebre” maintain the high level of their song writing, and confirm that their songs evoke a sound and an esthetic from the golden era of pop (beat sounds, mod esthetic, echoes of garage, northern soul, and sixties-pop), but they also add a current, renewed touch. In that period, the band’s line-up consisted of Elena Iglesias,Francisco Vila,Miguel Manero andÁlex Diez, and it would be the last release of their career.

And as if you were expecting anything less, we’re including a ton of extras. In addition to the six songs that made up the Mini-LP, on the B-side we’re including the single they put out on the British label Detour Records. There are two original songs, and two covers: “One More Try”, “Dream In My Mind” (a [ Read more ]

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!

Popland and Cinemaspop are two stores (actually three, because Popland has two different premises) from the Malasaña area in Madrid, but they both provide half Spain and abroad with aesthetic pleasures. In Popland, an enormous variety of accessories, garnishing, furniture, records and pop memorabilia on the whole can be found, whereas in Cinemaspop, pop culture comes on the top of movie going and cinema love. Two colouristic concepts with a passionate interest for pop’s different sides, that were to meet Elefant Records’ music.

Both stores have just released the album "Popland 25 hit parade", including that number of successful songs from Elefant Records catalogue: COOPER, LA CASA AZUL, CAMERA OBSCURA, BERLANGA, LE MANS, HEAVENLY or JUNIPER MOON, among others, playing the perfect soundtrack to the lush aesthetic of this retro consumption’s paradise.
