Wow. They've already relabeled the photos! The Lomax estate doesn't waste any time. For anyone who's interested, I recently discovered that the content from the CDrom interactive whatzit from the big, out of print Pastora box set is available on the Junta de Andalucia site. http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/cultura/centroandaluzflamenco/ Hover your cursor over the "Museos Virtuales" thing and it'll bring up the link to the Pastora pages. There's a message stating that the content is inaccessible, but that's not true. It's sort of semi-functional. You can access all the content, but the navigation between all the pages is pretty much non-existent. Once you've gotten to a certain page you can't back out of it and return to the previous one; you have to just close the whole thing and start from scratch. So, it's a total pain in the ass and is only useful for those who are willing to patiently slog through the site, but there's lots of stuff there, pics, letras, info on her accompanists, etc.

I thought all of Lomax's recordings were housed in the Library of Congress. Would there perhaps be some record in there??? Dunno, but I guess it's worth a look. The problem would be that, until yesterday, she remained unidentified in the Lomax archives. quote:
...but I still haven't been able to see it yet because: Our servers are experiencing too many requests at the moment. Please try back later. I was getting that yesterday, too, and it's still that way this morning. But a simple alternative seems to be to go to the home page, select "Photograph collections" from the menu on the left, put "Coria" into the search window on the right and select the "location" option. Six photos of her appear on the second page. There's actually a seventh image, which is a photo of a photo of her with her husband Pepe Pinto. quote:
Wow. They've already relabeled the photos! The Lomax estate doesn't waste any time. Yeah, I came across the images on Sunday and wrote the assocation on Monday morning. They responded very quickly, saying that there might be a written interview. There are also "dubs that Alan made from Radio Seville on the same date as that photo" but I had a listen and she's not among them. This morning I realized that her brother Tomás died that same year after a long illness, meaning that she probably wouldn't have wanted to sing if given the opportunity (notice she's dressed in black in the photos), aside from the fact that she was turning down many lucrative offers to perform at that point in her life. That's unfortunate, because the photos were taken just a few years after she made all those excellent recordings with Melchor.
