Often people post asking for the tabs for an audio track, this is the other way round.
i came across some tabs on the net for some falsetas by guitarists taken from recordings of singers. There are some of PDL, some of EDM (Enrique De Melchor), and some of Juan and Pepe Habichuela
here: http://www.score-on-line.com/freescores.php?collection=flamenco&lang=en
The PDL falsetas are all from the recording he did with Fosforito, the EDM falsetas are mostly from recordings with Jose Menese, some with Jose Merce, and some with Luis De Cordoba.
No problems so far.... but the Pepe Habichuela falsetas are a bit trickier. Some are from the Enrique Morente album "Homenaje A Don Antonio Chacon", and some are from Carmen Linares "Su Cante". I have found 2 tracks by Manuel Gerena on "Cultura Jonda 15. Un Compromiso", but no idea of the rest.
I have tried searching the song titles, but found nothing.
Can anyone help with the following tracks, singer, album etc.?
NB. Pepe Habichuela guitar on all tracks:
En sueños lo oi decir (Soleá por arriba)
Te robaron las esperanzas (Caña)
Cuando cayo apaleado (Soleá por medio)
Soy tronco y soy la rama (Petenera)
Que aun huele a su sudor (Rondeña)
Y estoy viviendo sin ti (Granaína)
Tres cosas son menester (Taranta)
En muerte creciendo (Cartagenera)
Tu el que comes y yo el que siembra (Cartagenera?)
Cadenas se van rompiendo (Tientos)
Mi Barca (?)

Well, i have looked at it, but i haven't been through each album song by song.... there are quite a lot of them! i guess that is my next step...
it would be great to have a discography with a massive list of every flamenco release including guitarist info.... often lists of singers albums don't list the guitarist.
also when you check a discography of a guitarist, say Pepe Habichuela or Enrique De Melchor, it only lists the solo albums, not the countless albums they have played on as accompanist - this would be a real treasure of a resource!
those songs i listed probably all come from 1 or 2 albums, probably recorded in the late seventies or the eighties, with Pepe Habichuela on guitar - someone must have this or these albums!
incidentally, Norman, do you know if that page of letras is part of a bigger website, that maybe has more resources?

Hey, does that mean that it's your website, Estevan? 
Yeh, I hadn't noticed Mi Barca. Unless it's a coincidence, Juan recorded that in 1962, I think, with Caracol, as you said. I was hoping you'd jump in on this, as you seem to be a "bean" authority! 
There are many, many recordings from not too long ago that we'll never hear. Of course, I'm hoping that I'm wrong about that, but even modern players like Gerardo and Riqueni have some hard-to-find recordings. I've got a bunch of low-profile cassettes (including El Chocolate's all-time best recording, which I've never seen anywhere else): unassuming looking items that you might have found 15-20 years ago on display in one of those revolving racks in a roadside diner or service station (in Albacete...) I bought them when I was living in an even more unassuming-looking apartment (I probably didn't look too good, either ). As poor as a church mouse, but I'd scrape together a few hundred pesetas every week (a handful of coins) and buy a cassette or two. Sorry, not trying to wax nostalgic, it's just that there have been an awful lot of recordings made over the years and it's nearly impossible to track down all of them. In 78 rpm recordings alone, there are easily over 5,000. Researchers like Blas Vega and Norberto Torres state flat out that they're not able to draw many conclusions because they don't know how many more recordings are out there.
So just imagine how many vinyl recordings must have been made. For example, anyone ever heard of the recording that Manolo Sanlúcar did with Terremoto? They say that Manolo even made a recording with Pastora Pavón, and he confirms the story in his autobiography.

: I found the Manuel Gerena tape and the tracks aren't there. But sometimes the reissues change the titles. Isn't that thoughtful of the record companies to keep things fresh for us?
