Originally released in 1980 on the Swedish BIS label, the double LP la spagna became an instant, certified “audiophile classic”. It was on the late Harry Pearson’s “Super Disc” list since forever, with used copies regularly fetching upwards of $200.

Some records deserve to be looked at as well as listened to. That's the case with the series of Sam jazz reissues from France.
