Temporarily Out Of Stock

LP, Vinyl record album

✈
❔
A great bit of 80s soul from Jorge Ben – a record that has ol' Jorge looking a bit new wave on the cover, but which is filled with grooves that are every bit as strong as any of his late 70s work! The soul style is very firmly in place here – a bit more mainstream than before, but in a way that helps Ben forcus his sound strongly – almost going for a pan-global approach to the music, given the way you can appreciate these tunes from a groove-heavy perspective, even if you don't know the language! His vocals are as wonderful as always, and although the sound is tight, the production's never too commercial nor too slick – a really great balance that comes off beautifully. Titles include "Ana Tropicana", "Energia Bom Bom", "Rio Babilonia", "Conquero", "Eu Quero Ver A Rainha", and a remake of "Taj Mahal".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Original Brazilian promo pressing. Includes the heavy inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, some spotty aging, and a promo stamp in back.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

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.

Pointer (Brazil), 1984. Near Mint-
A nice batch of jazzy tracks by this under-recognized Brazilian singer – recorded for the Pointer label, with the kind of strong fusion backing that was the stock in trade of the label at the time.

Epic, 1966. Near Mint-
One of the better early bossa albums by Bonfa, and one that doesn't have the sleepy quality that you find on some of his other records.

A pretty great little album from Bonfa – always one of the more corruptible bossa players, working here in a groovy set of pop arrangements by Deodato with a lively American twist!

Astrud Gilberto

Shadow Of Your Smile
Verve, 1965. Very Good
One of Astrud Gilberto's greatest albums – and quite possibly our personal favorite!

A warm intimate set by these two legendary Brazilian talents – Nana Caymmi on vocals, and the legendary Cesar Camargo Mariano playing some wonderfully mellow keyboards.
