El Ritual - Self-Titled (Mexico 1971/1982) | Tijuana Heavy Psych / Hard Rock | Vinyl Rip

El Ritual - Self-Titled. This is a 1982 reissue of the original 1971 masterpiece. It is a single sleeve rather than the original gatefold. Hailing from Tijuana, El Ritual is easily one of the most important bands to come out of the Mexican rock scene. While many of their contemporaries were focused on Woodstock-style blues and folk, El Ritual went much darker and heavier. They brought that raw border-town energy to Mexico City and eventually to the Avándaro Festival, bridging the gap between heavy psychedelic rock and the very early roots of heavy metal. This 1982 pressing is a solid option for collectors who want a physical copy of this record without paying the high price tag of an original 1971 Cisne pressing. It features the iconic artwork by Ruth and photography by Pablo Muños, capturing the band's unique visual style. 🔥 Standout Tracks Satanás: A powerful, heavy track that shows off the band's darker edge. Conspiración: Showcases the tighter, more complex instrumental arrangements. Muerto E Ido: The album closer that leans into the more progressive side of their sound. 🎸 Sounds Like: Deep Purple Uriah Heep Black Sabbath Peace and Love This is a full vinyl rip from my personal copy. 💿 Tracklist 00:00 Mujer Fácil-Prostituta 03:14 La Tierra De Que Te Hablé-Incluyendo "Maya" 06:27 Bajo El Sol Y Frente A Dios 10:53 Satanás 18:58 Peregrinación Satánica-Incluyendo El Poema "En Un Principio" 23:19 Conspiración 29:58 Groupie 33:55 Muerto E Ido 📷 Follow me on Instagram for more vinyl rips: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🇲🇽 Mexican Rock Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9qYTbYdo7El9W7DzXQIOxJa 🎧 Full vinyl rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn #vinylrip #elritual #heavypsych #mexicanrock #rarevinyl #vinylpiper
