Polo Pepo y Sociedad Corrupta - "San Felipe Punk" b/w "Es Delito Ser Punk" 7" [Meches Records (no #), Mexico, 1988]


I traveled to Mexico City six years ago looking for this single by Senior Pepo along with anything else I could get my grubby little hands on.  The first and last introduction to this single I had was thanks to Mike Lucas's devotion to all things south of the border.  While this first Polo Pepo's release followed a decade later after Mexico City's first punk record - that'd be Dangerous Rhythm's 7" "The Bar" b/w "!No No No!" on Orfeon (CSM-237) from '78 - it's still a WINNER!!!  That is, even though Polo looks like a down and out loser.  Of course, I mean that in the best possible way.  The sleeve design is two steps from Bunuel.  Anywho, Polo Pepo is alive and well ...
