When Charly García composes "The Ghost of Canterville", he calls him at León Gieco on the phone and tells him that he has a new song but that it is for the sing it and include it on the debut album at PorSuiGieco. When PorSuiGieco was published in 1976, the last Argentine military dictatorship was already underway. It was inconceivable that a song like "El fantasma de Canterville", which contained phrases like "I was always a fool who believed in legality" or "I have died many times riddled in the city" that stood out notoriously and was sung louder in the Recitals will go unnoticed for military censorship. The group must replace it, in this way Charly writes "Before tour", a song that talks about the life of the musicians during the tours.
But León Gieco is not resigned to abandon such a song and decides to include it for its next long duration that will precisely be entitled "El fantasma de Canterville" - Published by
