Equipe/Discobertas (Brazil), 1968. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A really cool concept for an album by this groovy Brazilian group from the 60s – a set that features two side-long medleys of big hits from the time – both Brazilian originals and Anglo chartbusters, served up in this cool style that makes you feel like you're attending a party with a ... read more CD
Elenco (Brazil), 1969. Very Good+ ... $49.99
Very spare stuff by Baden, recorded in a warm intimate setting, with just guitar and voice carrying the entire record. The tracks are more sophisticated than his bossa work – and the guitar playing is extremely emotional and a testament to Powell's virtuosity. Tracks include "Um Abraco ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(A very nice copy!)
United Artists, 1969. Very Good Gatefold ... $14.99
Very nice material recorded by Baden Powell in Paris, with backing by Paul Mauriat & His Orchestra. There's a nice organ player in the group, and his solos give the record a cool airy sound, and a nice bottom that's sometimes missing from Baden's other records. Tracks include "Choro Para ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Milestone, 1974. Very Good Gatefold ... $4.99

(Cover has light wear and a name in marker.)
Milestone, 1976. Near Mint- ... $6.99
One of Flora Purim's most ambitious albums of the 70s – recorded with larger backings than usual, and some occasional additional vocal help from Urszula Dudziak and Googie Coppola! The "encounter" of the title is a reference to the added players on the set – as Flora's groove ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Milestone, 1970s. Used ... $11.99
A collection of some of Flora's best work from the 70s – jazzy groovers with a strong Brazilian tinge, and plenty of those warm electric California moments that always make her records so great! Titles include "You On My Mind", "Tomara", "San Francisco River", ... read more CD

Sigia (Brazil), Mid 80s. Sealed ... $19.99
Warm work from this legendary Brazilian vocal group – right in keeping with their best material of later years! The production's tighter than on their 60s work, in the smoother mode of their late 70s recordings for Philips – but if you've heard those, you'll know that the style ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed with a "hi fi" sticker on the side!)
Odeon/Elemental (Spain), 1972. New Copy ... $13.99
A fantastic 70s album from this legendary harmony quartet – a female group that first emerged during the bossa generation in 60s Brazil, but who seem to hit an even more sublime sound with this rare gem from 1972! The setting is kind of post-bossa – maybe in the territory that Marcos ... read more CD
Forma/Audio Clarity (UK), 1966. New Copy (reissue)... $14.99
An incredible album – one in which the Brazilian female harmony quartet meets up with their male counterparts, the Tamba Trio! The gals have most of the vocals on this set, but backings are in the sublimely modern mode that the Tamba combo was using at the time, set to arrangements by Luiz ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
