20 Grandes Exitos

Continuing my little celebration of the 40th anniversary of 20 GG.

I have just bought the Spanish edition - 2 LPs in a gatefold sleeve. I'll admit that I found the inner gatefold a little, er, disappointing! I had hoped for some pictures, but never mind. I'm pleased to see the Union Jack/Flag filled number 1 on the front! I wonder what number it got to in Spain? Strange that the colouring on back of the sleeve seems so washed out. I wonder if this has anything to do with them having to re-photograph it after adding the Spanish credits? Maybe not. Anyway, a nice thing to have and thanks to Ulrich who brought it to my attention a short while ago in the other 22G thread. Having the tracks split across four sides seems to make sense and I'm sure it'll sound superb! Trouble is, my hi-fi is in several pieces in various boxes in the garage at the moment (having just moved). Oh well, I shall get to play it eventually!

That's just given me an idea for the set list for our next gig- not sure I'll get thanked for it though.

Or putting those Spanish titles into Google translate- yes, I have tried it!

That has to be a version for some South American country because my CD is completely different and the titles are in English.

Hi,
This is a vinyl set, no CD and definitely produced for and sold in Spain.
Regards,
Ulrich

I am assuming that it is the original Spanish version from 1977. All I can add is that it was definitely made in Spain, appears to be released through the EMI-Odeon label and I bought it from Ebay.es

I stand corrected, guys.
