At the end of summer of 1960 they released their single EP, on par with the first of Los Milos, but inexplicably did not return to record a song.


For this single disc chose a subject that was successful by the Spanish singer Torrebruno '' Good Bye, My Love'' , a lovely '' Yo Te Diré '' and two versions of American themes '' A Teenager In Love'' (Dion & The Belmonts) and '' Baby, Baby '' (Jack Scott) , the latter sung only by the three boys.
