Tabaco – Desintegracion(1971 SPAIN Psychedelic Rock)Full Album

Tabaco was a Catalan band (from Sabadell) that began in the early 1970s under the name "Los Duendes" (The Goblins). With this name, they achieved the world record for the longest continuous performance on stage, playing for 27 hours straight. In May 1971, guitarist Mariano Escriu joined the group, bringing a new direction to their music, which led them to change their name to "Tabaco." After the summer, they released their only album, "Desintegración" (Disintegration), which failed to achieve the desired success. They had to make a living and for a time performed in hotels along the Mediterranean coast, especially in Calella. Before disbanding in 1973, they shared the stage with bands like Los Canarios, Mustang, Strex, Brincos, and others. Their music barely fits the definition of progressive rock; only three tracks could truly be classified as such. "Disintegration," with its Iron Butterfly-esque vibe, the epic "Days of Light," and the tender "She," in true George Lake style. The rest of the tracks offer a wide variety of styles. Two blues numbers, "Tobacco" and "Freedom Blues," rock and roll in "I Feel Glad" and "Rollin' My Thing," and even two covers: Elton John's "Lady Samantha" and the well-known "Blue Suede Shoes," which, curiously, disappeared from later reissues. The original album is a prized gem sought after by collectors.
