Re-Issue Notes:
Tracks from this recording appear on the following LP Compilations:
Greatest Hits/The Guitar (1972) includes Dowland Queen Elizabeth Galliard, and Sor Variations;
More Spanish Music and Other Favourites (1972) includes Sor Variations;
John Williams Collection (1978) includes Paganini Caprice;
John Williams Plays Paganini (1978) and The Guitar Music of John Williams (1980)
each include both Paganini Caprice, and Giuliani Variations.
The following CD re-issues include these recordings:
Bach Music For Lute Volume 2 (1996) includes Bach Chaconne;
English Guitar Music (2000) includes both Dowland pieces;
Guitar Recital (1996) includes both Paganini Caprice, and Giuliani Variations;
The Golden Guitar (1989) includes Paganini Caprice.
Whilst this recording of the Sor has never been issued on CD (surely an oversight?), an earlier recording (from John Williams' first album) is available. The Batchelor remains to be re-issued in any form.
I understand that there was a limited release of this album on CD as is but I've never seen it and know nothing more.
