Provenance of Paco de Lucía tracks

I have a rather odd anthology, purportedly of Lucía tunes (and called, inevitably, Entre dos aguas), that I bought many years ago because a lot of the tracks looked unfamiliar. The label is Kubaney (CD-147), and the cover announces it to be Made in Canada.

I now see that an album with same label and record ID but entitled Los Mejores Guitarras [sic] is for sale on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003HI7T0G/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=1368468695&sr=8-1

However, the Amazon web page proclaims it to be by Lucía, Manolo Sanlúcar and Andrés Batista.

Which explains why I’d never seen some of these tracks before — and why some of them sound totally uncharacteristic of Lucía..

So, ignoring the fact that the labelling on my copy is outright fraudulent: does anyone know which tracks are by which guitarists?

Thanks.

RE: Provenance of Paco de Lucía tracks (in reply to Paul Magnussen)

The only ones from Paco I'm sure of are "Entre Dos Aguas" (obviously) and "Tarantos Populares". Paco has also recordings of "A Tu Vera", "Granada" and "El Vito" but the audio samples from the link above are not from his recordings.

I saw on a myspace page that "De Cadiz a Cuba", "Cuando Llora La Guitarra", "Sevillanas" and "Tonadilla" are also from Paco (when he was a kid), but that can't be trusted.

Also, if I had to guess I would say that "Mi Cairel", "Los Campanilleros", "Anda Jaleo" and "La Leyenda de Beso" are from Manolo, but that's just my guess, it can't be trusted either.

Many of this tunes are popular stuff and were recorded by many diferent artists in the past, it's not easy to tell who recorded what. Maybe Ricardo or Norman can help you on this.
