BOOKLET: Design/Layout/Photos: Hans Reichel
REMARK: This is a new edition of two out-of-print vinyl records
( FMP 0640 & FMP 0830). To make the music fit on a compact disc,
the pieces 7 and 9 have been gently shortened while a second
version of 1 was left out. The numbers 1 to 6. and 10 feature the
acoustic "full-fret" guitar, and on 8 and 11 you may hear a 12-string of
the same make. 7 was played on a de-fretted spanish guitar.
9 and 12 introduced the first electric to be picked on the wrong side
of the bridge. 2 and 5 were played on two guitars simultaneously.
All numbers were recorded in real time - no dubs, effects etc. being used.
