A favorite cover - sent to me in a package when I traded with Dave's Records. Neither he nor I ever had the vinyl, but I doubt the music is nearly as interesting as the cover on this one.

Chabelo looks like he's been wearing that outfit since he was about 8 years old, and it just kinda stretched out over the years to accommodate his adult body. And check out the guns! Chabelo is ripped! His sandwich is made of a meat I do not recognize. Headcheese, maybe?

actually, chabelo is a “character” he plays on TV and some music plays. He is like a big young boy. but today he is about 65 years old.. and have a strong voice, he made movies and is a comediant.. its really famous here in Mexico and well known because of his work ..
that record cover is from about the 80’s i think.
