Artist:	SABICAS
Title:	Flamencan Guitar Solos
Label:	EL RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ACMEM 149CD

Features recordings from 1941 thru 1957. "Virtuoso guitarist Sabicas exported flamenco in its most thrilling and uncompromising form. What the public heard and responded to was his astonishing artistry -- the rhythmic drive, the dizzying speed of his runs, the sheer ferocity of his attack coupled with the sensitivity and poise of his touch. Sabicas' dedication and perfectionism established the yardstick against which both his contemporaries and the next generation of guitarists were obliged to measure themselves. He almost single-handedly established the right of flamenco to stand among the world's greatest musical traditions. Made four albums for Elektra and a rock collaboration with Joe Beck."

Title:	Rock Encounter With Joe Beck
Label:	LONG HAIR (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	LHC 048CD

"This album shows a fantastic mixture of authentic traditional flamenco, progressive and psychedelic rock by Spanish legend Sabicas and extraordinary electric jazzrock guitar by Joe Beck with congenial backing band among others Donald MacDonald on drums, Warren Bernhardt organ and Tony Levin on bass. This is an album for those who are willing to look over the edges of their progressive and psychedelic horizon. Great guitar playing (lots of electric and acoustic guitars) all over. Unique and hypnotizing! Originally released in 1970 and for the first time on CD. Digitally remastered from the mastertape. One of the best Longhair-releases."
