EL CONJUNTO BERNAL ~ 1976 original Siesta Records 100% Sealed LP, $300 + S / H
1976 original Siesta Records LP pressing #S-105, 100% Still Sealed LP, MINT / MINT, unplayed. NO cut-out markings, NO seam splits, NO ring-wear. El Conjunto Bernal led by brothers Eloy & Paulino Bernal is considered by many as The GOAT ("Greatest of All Time") of conjuntos. Formed in 1952 in Kingsville, Texas and really took off by 1955, just when rock-n-roll was getting started! While in my high school years, Eloy Bernal bought a brick home on the corner of I Road & Gasline (later Alameda Street) 2 blocks away from my home in San Juan, Texas. I Road divided the small towns of San Juan & Pharr, Texas. I went to that house several times during those days, as I hung out with Eloy's half brothers, Richard, Oscar, Alfonso "El Cachirul" & "Prieto" + mostly through Richard, the oldest (a few years older than me) I met Eloy & the current Conjunto Bernal (1971 - 1975), even saw them play "live" at several places in the Rio Grande Valley & Kingsville, always for FREE, and it was a "treat"! They were truely a great live band, Eloy leading (Paulino was in religion by then), but electric lead guitarist "Juanena", accordionist Cali Carranza, and singers Cha Cha Jimenez & Laura Canales were 1st rate!
