His debut album for CBS was Malas Compañias. Sabina left CBS in 1985 and joined Ariola. He recorded the live record Joaquín Sabina y Viceversa while performing at the Salamanca Theater on February 14th and 15th 1986. Hotel, Dulce Hotel was released in 1987 and it sold over 400,000 copies. Sabina was later recognised as the Best Spanish Rock and Pop Songwriter by the Spanish Songwriters Association (SGAE) in 1997.
