The Best of the Gipsy Kings is now available on vinyl for the first time, from Nonesuch Records. The vinyl edition features this popular collection from 1995 on two 140-gram LPs. The initial success of this 18-track compilation, chronicling the first seven years of the group's Nonesuch career, illustrated just how popular the Gipsy Kings had become: It held the top spot on the World Music charts for a full year.

About This Album
This solo effort from Gipsy Kings lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo features a set of original compositions that showcase his “fiery flamenco and jazz” approach (USA Today). The Washington Post dubbed Baliardo “the Gypsy Charlie Bird"; the Chicago Tribune described his playing as “brilliant.”
