Are you just looking for the information that’s included in the recordings, then? Because “liner notes” or whatever they’re called nowadays are pretty famously unreliable. For example, that recording of Agujetas (number 8 on your list) features the playing of Manolo Sanlúcar and David Serva, in addition to “Parilla” de Jerez (it’s “Parrilla” with double r; my copy of the CD has the same mistake).

If I heard ONE track, I would recognize Parrilla or Morao, or Sanlúcar, any day. I have compilations that use any of those guitarists. Considering you are not going track by track then just put those guys if you want. Also, wasn’t that famous buleria from Borrico used on the collection of Terremoto or others? So, Cepero would be missing. And a huge etc. if you get my drift. If you care we can go track by track.

Yes, in my innocence I wasn’t looking any further than the booklets
RE: Grands Cantaores du Flamenco (in reply to Paul Magnussen)
From the point of view of a collector or archivist, right? I get that.
I had a look at a pretty big collection of ripped material (mp3s from vinyl, cassette and CD, often with images of the jacket/sleeve/insert, which is how I could have contributed here), but there weren’t any of those recordings of the three artists. There are, however, others that might have the same tracks in the same order. For example, I know some of Orbis Fabri’s “Arte flamenco” reissues are identical to recordings of other labels. And Universal’s “Grandes cantaores del flamenco” series sounds like the same product for the market in Spain, but I don’t know. In that sense, a list of all the tracks on those three recordings would be useful.
RE: Grands Cantaores du Flamenco (in reply to Paul Magnussen)
Problem solved, no?
I was going to add that there’s a Terremoto track with Antonio Arenas. There may be more, but I’m referring to a siguiriya. You’d expect Morao there, but it’s clearly not, and Arenas plays a pretty cool falseta that I haven’t heard anywhere else but on a recording of Pepe el Culata, also with Arenas. Sounds very ricardoish and may even go back to Javier Molina. The point I’m trying to make, probably unnecessarily, is that you can never be sure about credits.
There was a series of monographic reissues that was particularly bad in that sense because it even got the singers wrong!
