Encontros E Despedidas

LP (Item 25011) Barclay (Brazil), 1985 — Condition: Very Good+
A nicely understated 80s set from Milton Nascimento – a record that still has that heavenly, soaring sensibility in his vocals – but which maybe also has some of the intimacy you might expect from the cover's image of Milton walking alone in a forest! There's some jazzy currents in the music, but just a bit – and the set does include contributions from Pat Metheny and Hubert Laws – but the vibe is very much Nascimento's own, on titles that include "Lagrima Do Sul", "Raca", "Quem Perguntou Por Mim", "A Primeira Estrela", "Encontros E Despedidas", "Mar Do Nosso Amor", and "Vidro E Corte".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Brazilian Barclay pressing. Includes the insert. Cover has light wear, some aging, and is bent a bit at the edges.)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight 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.

Milton Nascimento

Yauarete (portrait cover)
CBS, 1988. Near Mint-
A tightly produced effort from the late 80s – with a sound that's certainly more commercial than some of Milton's earlier albums, but which is still graced by some great vocals and occasional soulful moments. Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter make an appearance on the album, and tracks ... LP, Vinyl record album

Milton Nascimento

Journey To Dawn
A&M, 1979. Near Mint-
One of Milton's last of the 70s – and a darn nice album recorded in the US. The arrangements are larger than ever, with beautifully baroque vocal choruses, strangely orchestrated instrumental passages, and Milton's wonderfully soulful vocals soaring out amidst the whole thing. Milton ... LP, Vinyl record album

Gal Costa

Gal Tropical
Philips (Brazil), 1979. Very Good- Gatefold
Light and lively work from the great Gal Costa – a set that's light years away from her Tropicalia experiments of a decade before, but which is equally beautiful in its own sort of way! First off, Gal's vocals are amazing – more expressive and dynamic than in the early days – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Abril Cultural (Brazil), 1982. Very Good Gatefold
Very cool! This is the second pressing of this Edu Lobo "best of" – and like the first, it includes an excellent booklet of writings and photos – but unlike the first, this is a 12" LP, so it's actually got more songs. As with the others in this series, the album ... LP, Vinyl record album

As 10 Cancoes Medalha De Ouro
Mit/Philips (Brazil), 1972. Very Good+
A cool record that features some excellent work from Erlon Chaves! Chaves and Mauriat split this album in half – so stick to Chaves' side, which features some pretty cool tracks that mix together Brazilian instrumentation with a funky easy listening sound from the early 70s. The standout ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nara Leao

Romance Popular
Philips (Brazil), 1981. Very Good-
Nara's working in a bit more of a pop-oriented vein than usual – with help from Raimundo Fagner on production and artistic supervision. Titles include "Luz Brasileira", "Marinheira", "Moca Bonita", "Laranja Da China", "Por Um Triz", and " ... LP, Vinyl record album
Philips (Brazil), 1983. Near Mint-
Paulo Moura and Mauricio Carrilho did the bulk of the arranging on this record, which has a combination of fuller electric productions on some songs and spare string oriented arrangements on others. Songs include "Meu Cantar", "14 Anos", "De Mal Pra Pior", "Ha ... LP, Vinyl record album
Philips (Brazil), 1987. Very Good-
A great one from Nara Leao's "back to bossa" years in the late 80s – a set that has the lovely vocalist working through older American standards – but done here with new lyrics in Portuguese and some great bossa backings from Roberto Menescal! Menescal's airy style proved to ... LP, Vinyl record album

Renato De Oliveira Em Tempo Quente

Made In Brazil
Continental (Brazil), 1968. Very Good+
Lively instrumentals with lots of cool twists and turns – mostly upbeat, and packaged with a very cool vintage photo of Rio on the cover! LP, Vinyl record album
Som Livre (Brazil), 1979. Very Good+
A nice late 70s mix of MPB and samba – put together with the rootsy feel of the latter, but also some of the more creative song styles of the former! There's a tightness here that's unusual for a samba record – especially at the time – and although the instrumentation features ... LP, Vinyl record album

Gal Costa

Aquarela Do Brasil
Philips (Brazil), 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold
Gal Costa pays tribute to one of the greatest Brazilian songwriters of an earlier age – the great Ary Barroso, one of the first to also get his songs translated into other global languages too! The language here is all Portuguese, though – but nicely updated by Gal in that range of ... LP, Vinyl record album
