{"product_id":"adi-meola","title":"Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy (Music on Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlmost immediately after hearing the Beatles' North American debut album at eight years old, Al Di Meola decided he wanted to become a musician. Just 11 years later, he was recruited by Chick Corea to replace Bill Connors in the legendary jazz fusion band Return to Forever, together with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White. His tenure turned out to be a short one—just two years—but turned out to coincide with the group's career peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAround the time the group broke up, he released his first record Land of the Midnight Sun, followed by Elegant Gypsy in 1977. On this album Al showcased his prowess for fast electric guitar riffs, lyrical acoustic passages, and every technique in between. The record clearly showcases his predilection for flamenco and Latin jazz, exemplified by the record's two most important tunes: \"Mediterranean Sundance\" and \"Race With Devil On Spanish Highway\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eElegant Gypsy is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on red vinyl and includes in insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFlight Over Rio\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMidnight Tango\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMediterranean Sundance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRace With Devil On Spanish Highway\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLady Of Rome, Sister Of Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eElegant Gypsy Suite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVersion: Red Vinyl LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased: 16\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e October 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue Number: MOVLP665C \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: New Sealed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunflower Records","offers":[{"title":"Red Vinyl LP","offer_id":59678917853509,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/8268\/6533\/files\/aldimeolaelegantgypsy.jpg?v=1791708465","url":"https:\/\/sunflowerrecords.co.uk\/products\/adi-meola","provider":"Sunflower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
