Sorry guys but “Flamenco Fever” is the cheesiest American marketing label ever after flamenco “fire” of course.
I think the cheesiest marketing label I have ever come across was on the playbills and ads for the Gipsy Kings when they performed at Wolf Trap in Northern Virginia a few years ago. It read that the Gipsy Kings would play "fiery flamenco songs like Bamboleo." That was not only cheesy, it was flat out false in its depiction of Bamboleo as flamenco. Talk about "truth in marketing."

I have in the past paid for mp3 downloads from Amazon but the quality was so bad I won't ever again. As soon as I put it into my software programme to slow down, loop etc. they become unlistenable.

I can’t say I’m astonished: Sabicas MP3 albums have proliferated to such a ludicrous extent that I’d be astonished if they were all legitimate.

They weren't Sabicas, they were recent releases, modern recordings.
