ARGENTINA
Argentinian Vertigo released quite some
British albums, most of which have slight differences to the native
issues. Mostly this concerns the songtitles, which often were
translated into Spanish. A rather bizarre release was also found (see
further below). Matrix numbers are machine-stamped in a
characteristically broad font and hold only information about the
catalogue number and side.

A record with catalogue number 6360 035
was assumed to belong to a shelved project, although no one seemed to
know what that project could have been. Above scans make it clear that
this probably was not the case. The contents are identical to VO 3 in
Britain,
Manfred Mann Chapter Three's self-titled debut, but the songtitles are
translated into Spanish both on the backcover and the label. The album
is titled after the opening track.
The cover is, of course, the bizarre issue on stake here. The art-school design of the British release was discarded and a photograph of the ''travelling lady'' that may have catered more for South-American temperaments was used instead. The backcover photo tries to recall the surrealistic atmosphere from Marcus Keef, by letting the lady pose before an abandoned railway footbridge. Her conspicious thighs evoke, however, different visions than the maker may have foreseen. The name of the bandleader on the frontcover was mutilated too...
Obviously judging the UK cover too obscene, Vertigo in Argentina replaced its design with the (milder) Dutch one. The gatefold was reduced to a single cover and the information was transferred to the back. Songtitles are in Spanish on both the label and the cover. The contents are identical with the British VO 2.

BLACK SABBATH - ''same'' (around 1971)
Just like in Brazil, this was issued belatedly in Argentina, after the succes of Paranoid. Please refer to the Brazil page.
This rare release follows its British counterpart musically, but boasts a slightly milder cover design. It's the ultimate in underground music, no less...
We also know that 6360 088 was assigned to the Spencer Davis Group, Gluggo. This record is reviewed on the first German albums page.
And 6360 128, Status Quo, Blue For You, was retitled to Triste Por Ti.

We
only got a scan from one of our readers, so we cannot give you any
further details. This release seems to follow the UK issue with some of
the titles translated into Spanish. There is no evidence of any
tampering with the cover image to champion decency, as was done in Uruguay.
