Prato E Faca

LP (Item 203505) RCA (Brazil), 1976 — Condition: Good
A nice little collection of classic samba tunes – re-recorded here by vocalist Cristina Buarque for her second album on RCA. The set showcases not just older tunes, but also compositions that were then current, but written by lesser-known talents who were being brought to light through Cristina's efforts. The overall sound is nice and rootsy – very much in the best 70s samba revival mode – and titles include "Carro De Boi", "Chega De Padecer", "Sempre Teu Amor", "Esta Melodia", "Tua Beleza", "Nao Pode Ser Verdade", "Sorrir", and "Abra Os Teus Olhos".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has light wear. Vinyl looks nice, but plays with light noise.)

Good

  • A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
  • Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
  • In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.

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.

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
