Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 4 - October 2019 /// Camarón de la isla - La leyenda del tiempo

[dhodo]

Camaron - Le Leyenda Del Tiempo

The writer is Lorca
Philips, Montreux, recent reissues

I'm really sorry for being a broken record, but do you have a source to buy for less than $50 in the US?

BTW, chances are more than zero that I'm gonna think I'm ordering a vinyl record from some site in Spanish/portugese, and I'll wind up with a Compact Disc instead because my redneck ass is too stupid to translate it properly.

 

[dhodo]

What about this? Still not very available. Good for water clue.

Well, the best I can do is ~30 euros shipped to my house from Amazon Spain. So, not really, but kinda.

I'm about 3/4 the way through this album, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it even if it's not the AOTM. It's incredible.

That one's even cheaper on Amazon Spain, but I don't see any Lorca-written tracks.

Yeah, I really dug that one too. Don't know why I never checked Amazon Spain.

Oh, good point.

Is the ocean reflected in the artist's oeuvre or just in this particular album?

I guess it is somehow reflected on other albums, but there are some very specific references on this one which prompted me to give that clue

 

[Dtknuckles]

Elis Regina's songs aren't particularly about the ocean though.

I don't know Portuguese, but after reading about her death I imagine that all her songs are about cocaine benders.

For Leyenda del Tiempo, from my rudimentary spanish, just by song titles you have "My girl went to the sea" and "Bay of Cadiz" for water references. I'll check out the other Camaron vinyl available on Amazon.es

Does it have reissues?

LOL, not really but she has some pretty depressing songs.

 

[dhodo]

Looks like all the other earlier Camaron titles on Amazon.es were written by Paco De Lucia's father Antonio Sanchez. Calle Real also has a Lorca track but is 1983. I think all the other Paco De Lucia vinyl on there is instrumental only.

 

[dhodo]

Does it have reissues?

Yeah thanks to @D Jilla, now I know pretty much all of Camaron's albums have recently been reissued and are hard to find for a reasonable price unless you are looking on amazon.es.

Also saw this, if anyone really wants to dive into Camaron.

Just volume one

I feel that Camaron de la Isla is our front runner now.

Same. Never been so nervous about an Amazon listing rising in price/going out of stock.

Well, would you look at that. It was 17.99 euros not too long ago - would have worked out to about $17 minus VAT and with conversion.

Also, it's a pretty long way from Spain to Mexico City - I bet that mailer got pretty beat up along the way...

Hey @Teeeee , I think we have a front runner at long last. @D Jilla has La Leyenda Del Tiempo by Camaron de la Isla

Thank you for @ing me! I stopped getting notifications for this thread for some reason. I'll update when I'm on my puter, it's hard on a phone.

Can you also add this clue when you have the time to?

Ok, here's your clue:

The artist was born very close to the ocean, a fact that is reflected on this person's music.
