Right, I'm not here! (Should have been out of here an hour ago!)
Yepes (LPs of course - WTF else?):
Plays Bach - DG Stereo 2535 248
Spanish Guitar Music (the usual - Albéniz, Granados, Tárrega, Llobet,
Ruiz-Pipó, Villa-Lobos, de Falla) - DG Stereo 2535 182
Guitar Music Of Spain (Catalonian obscure stuff mostly) - Contour CC7584
Guitar Music Of The 20th Century (Wild modern stuff - brilliant - Poulenc,
Brouwer, Ruiz-Pipó, Maderna, Balada, Kuera) - DG Stereo 2530 802
A very 'pleasant plucker' indeed..... :-)
(Say the word and I'll, er, tape you summat, if you are quite partial and
don't have all the above.......!)
