Notes:

Bottom of front cover: “ELECTRONICALLY RE-RECORDED TO SIMULATE STEREO.” Back cover: “CARLOS MONTOYA was born in Madrid. He is, as the Spaniards say, ‘gitano per los cuatro costados’ (or ‘gypsy on all four sides’). This directly affects his music and playing, for to play Flamenco one must have at least some gypsy in the blood. Herein lies the difference in approach which distinguishes Flamenco from classical guitar. As Carlos says, ‘Flamenco must come from the heart.’ And he does not read music, so in his case, this statement is borne out by his very inspiration.” One of the most interesting things to realize about these performances is that Montoya creates as he goes along. These are his original compositions, based on the Spanish gypsy tradition.” Total length of side 1, “Solo guitar”: 20:18. Total length of side 2, “Flamenco singing with guitar”: 19:26.
