Rare Japanese release with the Brazilian crooner on a live tip introducing Tango, Folk and two fine Bossa groovers. High end RCA pressing in lovely shape, cover has small sticker residue on front.

DJ weaponary by Sergio Mendes with stacks of heavy hitters packed unto one fantastic double album. Pais Tropical, Ye Me Le, Viramundo, Cancao Do Nossa Amor and more. Gatefold cover has pen marks on back and a little l...

Although a different sound to his early recordings you can never write off the master. Jazzy and funky with a little Brazilian spice obviously. Listen to Emorio for a feel of the direction of the album. Gatefold cover...

Clubby Brasiliano beats with Ye Me Le and Masquerade some all time faves by the master. US pressing with strong VG+ vinyl grade, cover has light ringwear.

Promotional album made by Schering AG and handed to guest at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Congress in Rio. Highlights in Joyce's wonderful interpretation of Girl From Ipanema, Baden Powell's Se Todos Fossem and the f...

Has to run with this Hoecht Chemicals promotional album as surely a one time find. The Sao Paulo Philhamonics join forces with the Severino Araujo group tackling classical, traditional compositions. Nothing dead funky...

Mixed bag of sambas but mostly funky and dancefloor friendly. Highlights are the fine cover of Martin Cerere and the always popular Ilu Aye. Softest scuff on record, cover is clean EX.

Traditional Samba school recording but rather than a 'live' take here you get a studio recording without the background 'noice' of people celebrating the streets of Rio during the carnaval. Cover in shrink, disc is cl...

Rare samba release by Jorge Goulart on Som Livre. My highlights are the melodic Ily Aye and Bahia De Tidos Os Deuses. Record and cover in decent EX shape, very light distortion at intro turns and run in groove.

Solid set of samba dancers on late seventies recording. I like the mid tempo pieces best on this one but some fast and furious stuff to be found as well. Check the enjoyable Pra Que Vou Recordar O Que Chorei for a fee...

Seriously funky compilation here with Astrud Gilberto, Baden Powell and notably the Franco-Brazilian group Os Maracatu. Some serious Batucada, Bossa and Samba grooves for the floor on this record. Check out Birimbau a...

Highly recommended split album with half the action credited Orchestra Ipanema and the other half Grupo Novo Rio. Upbeat and funky at times, chilled and jazzy at others. All in all 23 tracks fitted on two discs in lo...

This one is still somewhat under the radar but actually one of the best releases on the French folk label, Arion. Brilliant mix of straight samba, batucada and forro. Listen to the hypnotic vibes of A Coroa Do Rei tha...

Beautiful 3 LP box set with thick picture / text booklet included celebrating Samba in Brazil. Musically lots of goodies here with highlight in covers by Jorge Ben, Baden Powell and Martinho Da Vila. All records in fl...

Fifth and final album by Lou Blackburn and crew. Quality stuff throughout and with highlights in The Path, Snake Dance and Peace Love & Harmony. Spotless NM vinyl grade, cover with lightest edge wear and a 4-5 mm rip ...

Essential recording that has a strong following in most musical fields from soul over rock to jazz, disco or hip hop. Little wonder really as the New Yorker's talents as songwriter and performer really comes to show o...

Lovely crossover affair by Steamhammer lead Kieran White. His only solo recording with Cajun Moon a superb downbeat folk funk nugget with drumbreak intro. Rare item with vinyl in immaculate condition, cover with stick...

One of the very best Westcoast albums we have crossed with of recent (thx to DaM-FunK for putting us unto this). It practically never shows up on vinyl despite a formal Columbia release so has taken forever to track d...

Superb crossover recording by Dutchman Erik Tagg that only ever came out on vinyl in Europe on EMI. An obvious jazz background is heard on many of the core track and the album should certainly sit well with blue eyed ...

Super smooth stuff by this fine Los Angeles group spearheaded by Richard Page and Steve George, joined by a handful of the finest Westcoast session heads. A solid listen from start to finish but start with a little hi...
