 Opinions and other informations:

    

Tabaco have the world record of performance on the stage with 27 hours of non-stop playing. Their music was psychedelic and progressive. Their only albums was edited by Spiral and just 50 copies were released. It contains both instrumental and vocal tracks, sung in english and spanish. My preferences are "Lady Samantha" and "Born to be Free". Tabaco kept on the road until 1973, when they dissolved. Mariano abandoned music. Eduardo has been playing until nowadays. Jordi joined a Jazz band and Josep has re-joined Los Duendes (former name of Tabaco, when Jordi, Eduardo and Josep were in it) with a new line-up that preserves the original spirit of the band. (Ramón Cantú)


The rarest Spanish psychedelic gem ever. This legendary, almost impossible to get album was recorded in Barcelona in 1971. Re-released for the first time on CD and straight from the master tapes by Prosecco Media, Germany, in 2003. In theProsecco Media web page a demo can be listened.
