CAMARON CON PACO DE LUCIA Y TOMATITO: VIVIRE (POSSIBLY PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY FAMOUS BLUES MUSICIAN'S ALBERT COLLINS)
This is an interesting piece. THIS IS NOT SIGNED BY CAMARON. The front cover of the “Viviré” album (a 1984 flamenco record by Camarón de la Isla, featuring Paco de Lucía and Tomatito) bears a handwritten dedication in black marker addressed to blues musician Albert Collins. The inscription reads: “To the Master of Telecaster ... Mr. Albert Collins”. The dedication seems to be to Collins, which makes sense with "Camarón con Paco de Lucía y Tomatito."
At the bottom of the inscription is a signature and date. The use of 92
likely indicates the year 1992, which aligns with the timeline (and notably, Albert Collins was touring internationally around that time, including Europe in 1991–1992).
The back cover has an additional note which provides crucial context about the signer. At the top of the back cover, a message in English reads: “If you need something more, you’ve got a friend in Spain:”
followed by a name and address. The name given is Enric Bosch, along with a Barcelona address (“C/ Santa Amelia 22…, Barcelona 08034”
) and a phone number. This strongly indicates that Enric Bosch is the person who inscribed and signed the album. He’s effectively giving Albert Collins his contact information and offering help or friendship in Spain. This kind of note is personal – it’s not something an album’s artist or random fan would typically write on a record; rather, it resembles an inscription one would write when gifting an item to a friend or esteemed colleague.
Enric Bosch was likely an acquaintance or associate of Albert Collins, and he gifted Collins this “Viviré”
album, writing a personal dedication on the front and his contact info on the back. The phrasing “you’ve got a friend in Spain” suggests a warm, personal connection. It implies that Enric knew Albert Collins personally (at least well enough to offer help if Albert ever needed something in Spain). Indeed, it wouldn’t make sense for a stranger to sign someone else’s album in this manner – this was likely a memento of a meeting or friendship.
To conclude: it was a gift to Albert Collins
. While the signer Enric Bosch isn’t a famous musician himself (at least not known in mainstream discographies), the fact that Albert Collins owned this item and it contains a personal message to him
has a unique value to collectors. Some collectors find such cross-genre memorabilia intriguing – it’s a conversation piece linking an American blues icon (Collins, the “Master of the Telecaster”) with Spanish flamenco culture.
Albert Gene Collins was an American electric blues guitarist and singer with a distinctive guitar style. He was noted for his powerful playing and his use of altered tunings and a capo. His long association with the Fender Telecaster led to the title "The Master of the Telecaster". He passed in 1993.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
