PQR-Disques Plusqueréel announce the Deluxe Edition of “Anabelas,” the landmark album by Argentine Progressive Rock collective Bubu. Originally released in 1978, Anabelas remains one of the most striking and artistically accomplished works to emerge from the South American Progressive Rock scene, blending classical sophistication, avant-garde textures and symphonic grandeur with a bold creative vision.
Official statement:
We are thrilled to announce the forthcoming deluxe edition of the Argentine prog masterpiece Anabelas by Bubu. Heralded in its contemporary 70s music press as a phenomenal release and revered globally for many years to come by progrock aficionados as a best-kept secret, this polymorphously succulent album still retains the aura of an authentic artwork. Bubu’s Anabelas beguiles the most demanding listener with its implosive amalgamation of symphonic prog with neo-classical, avant-gardisms with free jazz, brewed in a highly idiosyncratic and non-replicable fashion. This deluxe edition will appeal to demanding prog vinyl collectors, as it is available in 4 vinyl colors of 100 copies each (rainbow multicolor splatter, silver and white marble, black on green splatter, black on gold splatter), featuring an embossed front cover, a large poster, and a downloadable bonus cd. But above all else, you can make this album truly yours and make it count: exclusively during the pre-selling period (until mid-December 2025), you can select the number(s) of your choice for any of the 4×100 pressings, as well as have your name written on the sticker with the copy number.
