RE: An Andalucian Journey: Gypsies a... (in reply to tele)
This a documenary made by BBC Arena many years ago (possibly 1978). I do not know if copies of their programmes can be bought from them. You could try to contact them.
I recorded the original (2 programmes) from TV to Vhs. In Cádiz I converted the tapes to DVD, to give copies to the surviving protagonists Juan Villar, Gineto, Santiago etc. Most of them are now dead, so it is now a historic document.
Historic documents are a bit sad, like my CDs of Juan Silva and José Millán, both have passed on. Better to live in the present and leave historic documents to history.

If you got a dvd copy send it to me in mail and I'll upload it to youtube? I think these kind of documents are more important now than ever, since they inspire people to enjoy flamenco, even those who have never heard about it.

I imagine that the copyright of these programmes resides with the BBC. Making one copy for personal use is accepable, but I wonder about the legality of posting a copyright item on youtube without permission?
I regard the copies which I made for some of the artists who appear as legitimate: they were not very well treated by the producers.

YouTube moved around this issue years ago.... if you don’t own it (cuz someone else claimed ownership) they pay royalty for it and force you to allow advertising to run before or during your clip
