The Early Years, Los Primeros Años

Including Juan Martín’s legendary first album, The Exciting Sound of Flamenco plus four tracks recorded with Rafael Romero ‘El Gallina’. Flamencovision is proud to re-release this album forty years since its original release in 1974. The additional tracks were recorded with Rafael Romero ‘El Gallina’ in 1976 when Juan Martín bought him to London to play at the Wigmore Hall and the Institute of Contemporary Arts. It is surprising how vital and complete it all still sounds!

The CD includes a 12 page booklet of information about the recording. Juan went on to record a further nine albums with Decca, EMI, Polydor, WEA and RCA/BMG before recording exclusively for Flamencovision a further ten CDs.
