Guantanamera

[someblokecalledfuz]

I realise i'm providing nothing to go on here, but I once heard a groovy version of Guantanamera, really, honestly I did.

Everytime i've put a needle on a version since it's made me wince. It can be a particularly annoying tune ( akin to the birdy song for irritablity ), but that one version...

So what i'm asking is can anyone recommend a great version of Guantanamera and save me from subjecting my ears to terrible versions, which then spin around my head for the rest of the day...

The Big Jim H / Duke Grant version on SGA has a superb funky organ freakout section - maybe this one?

[Lord Thames]

The Christian Bruhn Orchester do a good one too.

It's not on stereo gold award.... but those are good It's more loungey and was on a boxless tape on an old touring coach... so probably mainstream major release... Not heard lord Thames version so tis possible....
