Post Description
This is a complete transcription of a legendary and long out-of-print 3LP set released by Connoisseur Society Recordings in the early 1960s. This first-ever commercial recording of Manitas de Plata was recorded live in a medieval chapel in Arles, France over two nights, with an audience of Gypsies and friends to provide support and appreciation.
This is one of the most memorable recordings of flamenco guitar ever made. It is an exceptionally clear and detailed recording for its day, using 1/2inch reel-to-reel tape running at 30inch per second and four Sony C-37A microphones.
