Hard not to like Sergio Mendes with wonderful takes of Mas Que Nada, Agua De Beber and Triste. German pressing with alternate cover art. VG+ condition, vinyl very close to EX.

Second and last album release by Sergio Mendes proteges that stays true to his classic bossa nova adaption of international sellers like Spinning Wheel but this LP also holds two cracking covers of Jorge Ben in Zazuer...

Mega rare Brasilian 60s release with some fine spiritual vibes from carnival season but not the typical soundscape of carneval in Rio. Pretty unique stuff on a label (Mocambo) I have never seen before. Writing on labe...

Old news that Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer loved his Bossa Nova and even in the early days of Saba he was keen to record some of Brazils finest talents. All quality here but highlights are Sylvia Telles's Dicussao and Ed...

What better way to kick-start December than with a glass of rum toddy, legs up and the soothing voice of Ella Fitzgerald on your turntables. US original with many soft marks but still an enjoayble listen. Merry Christ...

Caytronics release out of New York City with a fine blend of Pachanga, Cha Cha Cha and Boleros. US orginal in EX condition, cover with small writing on back cover. Rare pick that does not show up often.
