Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Anniversary Vinyl Records LP Vinyl Buena Vista Social Club Buena Vista Social Club is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havanas 1950s vintage EGREM studios. It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place. However, no one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre.The acclaim of the original album has elevated the artists including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubn Gonzlez & Omara Portuondo to superstar status, inspired an awardwinning film by Wim Wenders, and has contributed to popularising Cubas rich musical heritage. Produced by Ry Cooder for World Circuit, the timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the album039s recording, producer Ry Cooder and World Circuit039s Nick Gold have gone back to the original tapes and into the archive to produce this Deluxe Remaster package, featuring previously unheard tracks from the original 1996 recording sessions, previously unseen photos, and new liner notes.

Official Double Vinyl

Twice the wax, double the depth. Double LPs spread music across two records to preserve sound quality and include bonus tracks, alternate takes, or extended mixes. A premium choice for albums that deserve more space to breathe.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.
