Shelly y Nueva Generación was a cult Spanish soul and garage band that left an indelible mark on the late 1960s music scene. Their rare 45s, now classic DJ spins in the mod/psych 60s scene, boast a funky Le Beat Bespoke style freakbeat sound.
Three singles were released on Philips between 1968-69, including their stunning take on Nonato Buzar’s ‘Vesti Azul’ and the outstanding original ‘I’m Just a Fool’, as featured on Ivan Zulueta’s cult film “Un, Dos, Tres, Al Escondite Inglés”.
This collection not only encapsulates the entirety of their known discography but also unveils many previously unreleased recordings, providing a treasure trove of sonic gems that now see the light of day for the first time. These recordings were made for a TV show and consisted of international hits of the moment performed by Shelly, mainly soul songs brought to fame by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations and The Four Tops.
This compilation stands as both a celebration of the band's legacy and a rediscovery of the timeless allure that made Shelly y Nueva Generación an enduring force in the annals of Spanish music history.
