Pelo

 Argentina

In 1970, from the ashes of Pinap (along with Cronopios and La Bella Gente, the only beat rock magazine) emerged Pelo (Hair), soon to become the official publication of Argentine rock. Pelo's influence became enormous. Daniel Ripoll, owner and editor, decided whether an artist was ''in'' or ''out'', praising or ignoring him. (TheMagicLand)

Ratas Calientes (Hot Rats)
By Héctor Rubén Gerardi, p 58


RATAS CALIENTES
Frank Zappa & Ian Underwood

En realidad el famoso multi-instrumentista acude a la grabación en calidad de colaborador, pero es él el que está regrabado en 16 canales, mientras que Zappa ocupa uno solo con su guitarra. Muy buena la interpretación vocal que Captain Beefheart realizó en Willie, el rufíán. El mejor tema, a mi parecer: Duraznos de Gala, siendo todos los otros también muy logrados. Entonces: El solista tendría que ser Underwood y no Zappa.

Automatic translation: In reality, the famous multi-instrumentalist comes to the recording as a collaborator, but he is the one who is rerecorded on 16 channels, while Zappa occupies only one with his guitar. The vocal performance that Captain Beefheart gave in Willie, the ruffian, was very good. The best song, in my opinion: Peaches En Regalia, all the others being also very successful. So: The soloist would have to be Underwood and not Zappa.
