Ry Cooder - Buena Vista Social Club / 45RPM 4LPs Analogue Productions

Immerse yourself in the vibrant streets of Havana with "Buena Vista Social Club" – a captivating journey into the heart of Cuban music! This timeless masterpiece, recorded in 1996 by celebrated guitarist and producer Ry Cooder,

celebrates the diversity of Afro-Cuban rhythms and melodies that have enchanted audiences for generations.

"Buena Vista Social Club" was recorded in just seven days at the venerable EGREM studios in Havana. The overwhelming success of the Grammy-winning album is expressed in incredible numbers worldwide: to date, almost 9 million (!)

records have been sold. What's more, the album made all the musicians involved in the recording stars overnight. Under the direction of Ry Cooder, Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González and Omara Portuondo, the "Buena Vista Social Club" ensemble

delivers performances that are as exuberant as they are intimate, capturing the essence of a bygone era while igniting a boundless passion for Cuban music. From the infectious energy of "Chan Chan" to the heartfelt nostalgia of "Dos Gardenias",

every track immerses the listener in the heady mix of son, bolero and guajira styles.

Analogue Productions presents this unique piece of music history in an amazing 4-LP version, with a sound quality never heard before – mastered by the legendary Bernie Grundman. The records are cut at 45 RPM and come as 180-gram vinyl – of course

manufactured by Quality Record Pressings. Stoughton Printing's tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jackets with film lamination and a 12-page booklet with lyrics and stunning studio photographs round off the package in a highly attractive way.

The timeless quality of "Buena Vista Social Club" is considered one of the most groundbreaking recordings of the 20th century, and this new edition gives it the appreciation it has long deserved!

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
