Joaquín Sabina's discography is a minefield, with striking discrepancies between vinyl and compact discs. Valdeón and Puchades trace influences that are not usually mentioned, from the frequent patterns of JJ Cale to the inspiration of the early Jean-Patrick Capdevielle.

Sabina adapts to the mannerisms of her producers, sometimes it works (José Luis de Carlos, Alejo Stivel) But blunders also abound, from techno jewelry of the releases of the second half of the eighties.
