No luck here on either count, sadly, but a very interesting person does at least seem to have been involved in the process. The author of the A-side Fernando Arbex (confusingly credited on the label as two different people) was the leading creative force in Spanish pop group Los Brincos, as well as their drummer. Their tracks "Passport" and "Nobody Wants You Now" are two of the finest sixties offerings from that country, showing a group who had the maturity and ability to become a truly global act. Not for nothing was their LP "Contrabando" regarded as their "Sergeant Pepper".
By the time the Los Brincos jig was up, Arbex formed a short-lived act called Alacran, then finally relocated to Britain to form Barrabas, who managed to release nine LPs of a largely funky Latin flavour between 1972-1983. Not wishing to rest on his laurels, he also put his songwriting skills to use elsewhere too, perhaps most famously (and least credibly) for Middle of the Road, for whom he penned the hit "Soley Soley".
