MATEO, EDUARDO & JORGE TRASANTE (1976 Uruguay 1976 guitar/percussion) LION TEST PRESSING LP

ORIGINAL TEST PRESSING! Only a few of these! Test pressings are the white label copies issued to the record label in advance of the actual pressing , there are normally only 5 of these made.

On Mateo y Trasante (1976), Mateo’s second post-EL KINTO album, he goes further than ever before in his sonic explorations of different percussion variations and guitar techniques, evolving a more complex musical style.

According to Mateo biographer Guilherme de Alencar Pinto, only around 343 copies of the album were sold; yet this record is now considered a legitimate work of art, and indisputable evidence of Mateo’s genius.
