GUALBERTO
1975 , SPAIN - EURO 15.50
Label: FONOMUSIC
ALBUM REVIEW
Founder member of the legendary Spanish group Smash, Gualberto is no doubt the Spanish psych guitar guru. When he left Smash, he went to the USA for a couple of years, and he came back to Sevilla together with Tod Purcell, who would sing and play 12 string guitar in this, Gualberto's solo debut album in 1975. What you will find here is an outstanding blend of psychedelia with flamenco. Gualberto plays Spanish guitar, flamenco guitar, electric guitar and sitar; there's great violin work by another American, Arthur Wolh, some flute and great, all original songs. This is the real thing, beats any previous Gualberto work by far and is to us one of the best ever psychedelic albums to come out from Spain. Simply fantastic and a real must have!!! Remastered and housed in digipack.
