Notes from inside sleeve:
All major music producing studios in Hollywood, with one exception, were strangely dark and silent on three evenings last February. Guitars and guitarists, an essential part of any modern recording session, were not available for regular duty. Instead, every guitar virtuoso in the film city had been booked to record "en masse" in three night-long sessions at Liberty Records.

During those sessions, in a huge studio alive with the sounds of music, Liberty added a chapter to the history of the guitar. That chapter, entitled "50 Guitars Go South Of The Border", recorded the combined efforts of many of the world's most renowned guitar soloists. Playing together for the first time, they produced a new string dimension-the sound of the guitar in depth.

With a guitar perfectionist in each chair, the guts, steels, "guitarrones", Mexican harp guitars and rhythm guitars demonstrate that the richest heritage for modern is found in musical history.
The solos of Laurindo Almeida are backed by the elite choir of Mexican and jazz guitarists, including Barney Kessel, Howard Roberts, Al Viola, Bob Bain, Tiny Timbrell, Bill Pitman, Jose Barroso and many others whose exclusive contracts do not allow their names to be included here.
The result is awesome. A bullring overflowing with the world's most outstanding "mariachis", flamencoists and classicists could do no more to astound and enrapture a critical listener. The music of these guitars in concert will fill the ears of the "aficionado" with sounds he had not imagined possible-sounds he had not hoped to hear. Liberty takes pride in presenting Tommy Garrett's fifty guitars.

The Liberty Premier Series ... Specifically designed to please the most exacting requirements of the discriminating music lover as well as the audiophile, each album in this series must meet the highest standards of musical and technical excellence. The most creative innovations in recording techniques, such as the use of a phantom recording channel, have been employed to totally eliminate any distortion of sound, even at the extreme ends of the audible sound spectrum.
