Alceu Valenca & Geraldo Azevedo (Quadrafonico)

LP (Item 166831) Copacabana (Brazil), 1972 — Condition: Very Good
An incredible debut from the team of Alceu Valenca & Geraldo Azevedo – Brazilian songwriters and vocalists, working here with arrangements and production from the legendary Rogerio Duprat! Duprat's style for the record is somewhat similar to his Tropicalia work – particularly in the way that he mixes the fragile, intimate vocal approach of the pair with some oddly-tuned horn bits, earthy percussion, and occasionally sweeping modes that help the tunes drift along on a gentle cloud of darkness. There's a simple, subtle poetry to the whole record – a quality that's not as trippy or experimental as Tropicalia work, but no less compelling – and very much in the spirit of the more introspective Minas Geraes generation. Titles include "Me Da Um Beijo", "Virgem Virginia", "Mister Misterio", "Novena", "Erosao", "Seis Horas", "Planetario", "78 Rotacoes", "Horrivel", and "Talisma".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is 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 as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
