Pueblo's music page in the run-up to Christmas 1975. It consists of a series of short glosses, each beginning with "…Que". One of them marvels that an "English cantautor" called John St. Field, who had found no musical response in his own country, had found open doors at a Spanish record company, while many (Spanish) artists waited in vain. The tone is mocking rather than a judgement of the music. The neighbouring glosses concern Fernando Arbex/Micky and the band Camel, not yet released in Spain.
