Os Montanari - Vol 11 (LP)
Chantecler 210407180, 1977 Brazil Big Band fun out of Rio with plenty of cheese but as usual there are also funky elements. Their take of Exodus is decent but my favorite is freakbeat styled Secret Love. Solid EX cover and vinyl.

Alan Tew - The Music Of Tom Springfield (LP)
Contour 6870 596, 197? United Kingdom Mixed back of Latin and Brazil tinged themes by library main man Alan Tew. Gotta love The Troubleshooters but The Carnical Is Over would work well in a Bossa Nova setting.
