Debbie Wiseman conducts the National Symphony Orchestra and mezzo-soprano Rosie Middleton for this tribute to Spain. The album includes compositional works by Chabrier, Bizet, and Rimsky-Korsakov.

The album was rehearsed, mixed and cut directly to vinyl in one day by Mike Valentine, owner of Chasing The Dragon Records. This 1/4" Master Tape Copy was created from the 30IPS 1/2" Running Masters at Air Studios.

**It is standard practice in all recording studios to keep the tape "tail out". This reduces "pre-echo" and it means that the tape should be placed on the right hand side of the recorder, re-wound and then played.

• Created from 30IPS 1/2" Running Masters at Air Studios
• 1/4" 15IPS CCIR
