Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in the United States with heavy studio backing, 'Only Love Can Sustain' is a significant anomaly in Luis Alberto Spinetta's legendary discography. Featuring English lyrics and lavish orchestral arrangements conducted by Torrie Zito, the album is a highly polished, albeit controversial, attempt at international crossover success within the sophisticated pop and jazz market.
