Os Cariocas De Quatrocentas Bossas

LP (Item 32712) Philips (Brazil), 1965 — Condition: Very Good-
Killer work by one of the best of all the bossa vocal groups! Os Cariocas had a sweet swinging style that reminded us a lot of the best American jazz quartets at the time, and on this album they're set in some wonderful arrangements that are a lot more complicated than some of their earlier simpler work. There's some excellent bass/piano/drums backing – in a manner that's similar to some of Luiz Eca's best work with the Tamba Trio – and the album has some fantastic songs, like "Precisco Aprender A Ser So", "Sabe Voce", "Ve", "Tema Pra Oito", and "Jogo Do Navio".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

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.

Passaro Proibido
Philips (Brazil), 1976. Very Good Gatefold
An amazing 70s album from the legendary Maria Bethania – one of those records that's without precedent, and which comes together in an array of styles that's simply breathtaking!

Aquarela Do Brasil
Philips (Brazil), 1980. Very Good+ Gatefold

Philips (Brazil), 1970s/Early 1980s. Near Mint-
Gal's always been one of Brazil's greatest artists – whether she was singing strange raw tunes during her Tropicalia period, or moving into nice jazzy material during her later years. This set's a good introduction to her work, and it includes a lot of nice tracks that we don't always turn ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ciclo
Philips (Brazil), 1983. Very Good
A nicely rootsy little album from Maria Bethania – recorded during a period when some of her music could often sound much fuller and more electric!

Elis Regina & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Elis & Tom
Philips (Brazil), 1974. Very Good+ Gatefold
An incredible album – and a landmark session that showed that the bossa nova was still alive and well in the 1970s! The album pairs the breathy jazz vocals of Elis Regina with the booze-soaked warmth of Antonio Carlos Jobim – in a set of spare arrangements that feature a lot of touches ... LP, Vinyl record album
Philips (Brazil), 1968. Very Good-
Very very cool compilation of tracks that seem to be designed as an "export", even though the record was produced by Philips in Brazil. The set features a wide range of some of Brazil's best artists from the pivotal years of 1968 – and include Tropicalia gems like "Batmacumba&q ... LP, Vinyl record album

Los Brasilios

Brasilian Beat '67
Design, 1967. Very Good+
A very unusual bit of bossa nova – and a record that seems to criss-cross a few different A&M Records modes of the 60s! At one level, the group's got a Brasil 66 feel – since they use a female vocal chorus on some cuts, breezing along with the grooves in a style that's definitely ... LP, Vinyl record album
