Alurican is out of print, but there are still some copies floating around out there….
Marisma is definitely out of print and totally unavailable…
The Noches Gitanas series and the Pinini Clan records are also out of print, and the used copies available on-line carry a hefty price tag….
I’ve got a handful of 70’s/80’s-era discs on which he accompanies Curro Malena, Manuel de Paula, El Lebrijano, and Calixto Sanchez. Some of these might not be too hard to track down. These are all great, though he plays in a considerably more straight-forward style than he does in these solo performance vids and on Alurican.
The easiest thing to find right now is the record he did with his sister, Ines, called De Viva Voz. Plenty of copies out there, and it’s a great record- closer in style to the more modern leanings of his solo stuff.
I agree with Jim’s feelings about Alurican taking a bit of getting used to. He has this rolling, flowing, endlessy arpeggiated style and a subtle sense of melody that I found kind of boring and uneventful at first. But after spending a lot of time with it it’s become my favorite solo guitar record. One of the many fantastic flamenco discs that is strangely and criminally out of print.
