1978 and IMO the best Malaguena arrangement and performance they ever had

It was 1978 not 1980

Contrast this not just with 1988 and 1996 but with Madison's "McArthur Park." The playing is rhythmically stiff. The keyboards are just not Spanish enough to fill well. The screaming trumpets are not musical. And the ending is a weak coda. Little things -- syncopation, solo work, cymbal play -- make a big difference.
