Amor De Gente Moca – Musicas De Antonio Carlos Jobim

LP (Item 11173) Imperial (Brazil), 1959 — Condition: Very Good-
A beautiful early showcase of the compositions of Antonio Carlos Jobim – and one of the best late 50s albums from the lovely Sylvia Telles! The album's got a wonderfully gentle feel – one that's a far cry from some of the more emotive female vocal work that had come from Brazil in the 50s – and although the sound isn't fully bossa nova, it's certainly a strong precursor of the genre – arranged by Maestro Gaya with orchestrations that are as floating and dreamy as the lyrics of the tunes! Sylvia's vocals haunt the tunes in a beautifully, echoey way – as strings, vibes, and piano slip in and out to widen up the sound – and titles include"Fotografia", "Janelas Abertas", "De Voce Eu Gosto", "Discussao", "Sem Voce", and "Canta Canta Mais".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Original pressing, in the plastic outer sleeve, with surface wear & aging, discoloration from age.)

Very Good - (minus)

  • Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
  • Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
  • This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
  • Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Elenco (Brazil), 1965. Very Good
A beautiful album of mellow bossa tracks sung by Sylvia Telles – all written by Jobim, of course, and given a lovely and melodic touch! Sylvia's vocals are incredible – often in English on some of the tracks (the album was briefly issued in the US in the 60s), and done in a style that's ... LP, Vinyl record album

Roberto Menescal

Bossa Nova
Imperial (Brazil), 1964. Very Good
Early bossa album by the man who was one of the leading instrumentalists behind many of the bossa era's best singers. The set's fairly mellow, and all instrumental. Menescal plays guitar, and other instrumentation includes vibes & piano. The tracks have a light lilting bossa feel, with some ... LP, Vinyl record album

Francisco Egydio with Walter Wanderley

Interpreta Lupicinio Rodrigues
Imperial (Brazil), 1961. Near Mint-
(Cover has light ring impressions and is faded a bit at the spine.) LP, Vinyl record album
Som Livre (Brazil), 1973. Very Good-
A killer Brazilian soundtrack! The record is a mix of funky easy tracks – in a Blue Brazil kind of mode – with other titles played by trumpeter Marcio Montarroyos that have a jazzier edge to them. The whole thing's kind of a mad mix of old and new Brazilian styles of music, touched by ... LP, Vinyl record album

Johnny Alf

Ele E Johnny Alf
Parlophone (Brazil), 1972. Very Good-
One of the greatest albums ever recorded by Johnny Alf – a sweet and mellow set of tracks that retains all the charm of his earlier bossa work, yet which adds in some warmer electric touches to really expand the sound. The set's totally wonderful – warm and raspy vocals from Johnny, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tim Maia

Sufocante
Polygram (Brazil), 1984. Very Good+
One of the nicer mid-80s albums by Brazilian soul singer Tim Maia, and a record that shows him moving more deeply into a modern soul groove, and using the sorts of sounds and instrumentation that you'd hear in a lot of American soul albums from the time. The production is decidedly electronic, ... LP, Vinyl record album
Polyfar (Brazil), 1970s. Very Good+
Cool compilation of tracks that shows the rich soul music tradition in Brazil during the 70s! The three artists on the LP are probably the three greatest soul artists to come out of Brazil – and the work on here shows a sound and style that's very different from other strands of the country's ... LP, Vinyl record album
Phonodisc (Brazil), 1986. Good

(Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the edges.) LP, Vinyl record album

Astrud Gilberto

Shadow Of Your Smile
Verve, 1965. Very Good
One of Astrud Gilberto's greatest albums – and quite possibly our personal favorite! The record features beautifully understated arrangements by Joao Donato, Don Sebesky, and Claus Ogerman – and the instrumentation is a haunting mix of bossa rhythms with darker orchestrations that ... LP, Vinyl record album
Fontana (Brazil), Early 70s. Near Mint-
Although this one seems to be a "best of" collection of tracks by Joao Gilberto – it's actually mostly a repackaged version of his stellar Joao Gilberto album for Polydor from the early 70s! If you don't know that one, it's amazing – and it features Joao singing with only ... LP, Vinyl record album
Estudio Eldorado (Brazil), 1983. Sealed
Raul Seixas follows a similar path as Rita Lee, Caetano Veloso, and other important Brazilian artists of the 70s – and uses this live date to really pay tribute to the American music of the past that inspired his crazier work at the time – taking older songs of the 50s and 60s, but ...
