El Amor Está A La Vuelta De La Esquina / Es Muy Largo El Camino A Tipperary

Released by RCA Victor in the mid-1940s, this shellac 78 RPM record features The Picking Up Timers, a vocal group associated with the post-war era of Latin American popular music. The recording serves as a cultural artifact of the period, reflecting the global reach of RCA Victor's international catalog and the vogue for translating English-language standards or lighthearted pop numbers into Spanish for domestic and export markets.

The disc pairs a translation of a popular tune with a rendering of the iconic World War I song It's a Long Way to Tipperary. The design reflects the standard RCA Victor 'Blue Label' aesthetic of the time, emphasizing clear typography and corporate branding intended for a broad, general audience. While the group remains a niche footnote in musical history, the record stands as a representative example of the mid-century recording industry's efforts to cross-pollinate musical styles across linguistic boundaries.
