quote:
the way Paul....how many of the original Sabicas recordings do you have now?
Hard to say, because the CDs don’t always map to the LPs exactly: forty-something, at least, plus more on MP3. He told me had made fifty-something, but putting together a discography’s a huge task.
For a start, there are the recordings he made before he left Spain, which were in Limbo for decades but now seem to be appearing piecemeal; this is complicated by the fact that some Spanish labels are now putting out his recordings from the ’50s and ’60s and passing them off as from the ’40s.
The core of the LPs is the Decca and ABC recordings (none of which carries any recording date  ). I read somewhere that the ABC masters are now in bad shape; luckily for me I bought most of their Sabicas LPs when they first appeared (one advantage at least of being old!).
After decades of total neglect, record companies are now putting out so many garbled reissues, it’s making my head spin (I try to keep track of them on Amazon, but it’s an uphill job). So many that it makes me wonder if some of them (particularly the Art of the Guitar) have passed into the public domain.
Are you after one in particular?
P.S. As regards the reissues of the pre-war stuff, by far the best IMHO is Al compás de mi guitarra.
