The Hombres G Marta Tiene Un Marcapasos vinyl is a limited pressing 7-inch single on Snap Records (catalog FUN 7089), released June 16, 2023, and it documents one of the most significant moments in Spanish rock history: the chart-topping debut of a song that helped define a generation of Spanish pop-rock in the mid-1980s.
Hombres G and the Road to “Marta Tiene Un Marcapasos”
Hombres G emerged from Madrid in the early 1980s and became one of the most commercially and culturally resonant Spanish rock bands of the decade. Their sound connected with a young Spanish audience hungry for domestic rock that felt genuinely theirs. “Marta Tiene Un Marcapasos” was the lead single from their sophomore studio album La Cagaste… Burt Lancaster, released through Producciones Twins in 1986. The song climbed to number one on the Spanish singles chart in June of that year, a milestone that confirmed the band as a genuine force rather than a novelty. Worth noting: this version was not their first recording of the song. An earlier version appeared on a 1983 single, making this 1986 release a re-recording that reached a far wider audience.
What Makes This Hombres G Marta Tiene Un Marcapasos Vinyl Worth Owning
This Snap Records pressing pairs the A-side with “La Cagaste Burt Lancaster” on the flip, the track that shares its name with the full album and also appeared on that original 1983 single. That pairing gives the 7-inch a particular coherence for anyone interested in the early arc of the band. More importantly, the B-side of the original 1986 Producciones Twins release, “Tomasa Me Persigue,” has never appeared on any subsequent Hombres G release, which speaks to how much archival value these early singles carry for serious collectors of Spanish rock.
