First time reissue of the uber-rare only release by Innovations, originally released in 1977. The Alessi Brothers original "Seabird" receives an extra summer twist, resulting a DIY bedroom relic of yacht-rock gold. When the Alessi twins saw their heyday in 1976, their moderate hit "Seabird" resonated strongly in the head of Javier Guerrero, son of the Peruvian label Discos MAG’s founder Manuel A. Guerrero. The luminous melody of the song fits perfectly into the daily scenes of Lima surfers, establishing a curious parallelism with the idyllic Californian landscape and its traditional surfer way of life.
It was not long before Guerrero entered into the recording studio accompanied by Ernesto Samamé, bassist in We All Together, the band led by Javier's brother, Carlos Guerrero, as well as a member of Laghonia, Fe 59 and a few other musical projects. In his hands, 'Seabird' became an even brighter song than its original version, a potential perfect soundtrack for a scene taken from The Endless Summer, musical gold for any yacht-rock fan despite its less sophisticated and rawer production.
The single was completed with another version, "Put A Little Away", a late hit by Frankie Valli´s The Four Seasons, and was released in 1997 on MAG Records, with a tiny distribution most likely limited to Peru. First time reissue.
