Out Of Our Heads ( 1965 Venezuela Mono Burgundi Label Unboxed ffrr Long Playing First Pressing )
Note:
Cover Import From USA.
Record Import From England.
The Cover Is Made Of Heavy Cardboard.
The Vinyl Is A Bit Heavy At 170gr.

Bs15 In The Circle Stands For Bolívares, Or The Venezuelan Bolívar, The National Currency Of Venezuela.
The Number 15 Indicates That The Original Price Of Vinyl In Record Stores In Caracas And The Rest Of The Country Was Exactly 15 Bolívares.
In The 1970s, The Exchange Rate Of The Venezuelan Bolívar Was Firmly Pegged To The US Dollar, With An Official Parity Set At approximately 3.18 Bolívares To 1 Dollar.
Consequently, 15 Bolívares Equaled Exactly $4.72 (calculated as 15 ÷ 3.18 ≈ 4.716 ).

This Ratio Remained Stable For Much Of The Decade, As The Bolívar Was Then Considered One Of The Strongest And Most Stable Currencies In Latin America.
Thanks To The Bolívar's Stability, "Palacio" And Her Rival "Discomoda" Were Able To Purchase The Printing Rights To The World's Largest Catalogs.
Palacio, In Particular, Obtained Licenses For Giants Such As London Records (distributor of the Stones), Motown And Even The Legendary Salsa Label Fania Records.
The Massive Importation Of Rock Records By The Rolling Stones And The Beatles, Financed By Petrodollars, Didn't Remain A Passive Phenomenon. It Sparked A Powerful Local Rock Scene Called The Nueva Ola-New Wave.
Young Venezuelans Began forming Bands That Combined Rock And Roll And An American/British Twist With Spanish Lyrics (Band Los Impala, Los Darts, Los Claners).
