Maysa (aka Cancao Do Amor Mais Triste)

LP (Item 41636) Premier (Brazil), 1962 — Condition: Very Good+
Maysa sings here with great arrangements from maestro Erlon Chaves – warm, round, and fluid – in a way that mixes leaner bossa rhythms with the more romantic styles of an earlier generation! Maysa's more emotive qualities are nicely kept in check by the approach – and her vocals her flow along beautifully with the blend of strings, piano, and percussion used by Chaves – all presented in ways that remind us a lot of Deodato's best full orchestrations from the same period. The whole thing's nicely compressed, and never overdone – and titles include "Favela", "O Amor Que Acabou", "Mil Flores", "Ah Se Eu Pudesse", "Round Midnight", "Fim De Noite", "Cancao Do Meu Amor", and "Agua De Beber".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Later pressing from 1967, without plastic outer sleeve. Cover has some yellowing from age, chewed a bit at the top right corner, lightly bent corners, and some pen in back.)

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.

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.

RGE (Brazil), Mid/Late 50s. Near Mint-
A mixture of bossa tunes and other titles that have a more flowery, more emotional pop approach to them.

Copacabana/EMI (Brazil), 1969. Near Mint-
Live work from the lovely Maysa – a great late 60s set done in a mix of jazz, bossa, and even groovier styles! The recording has a nice sense of the "room" – with spontaneous crowd noise often coming in to spur additional enthusiasm in the music – and Maysa's star power ... LP, Vinyl record album

Equinox
A&M, 1968. Near Mint-
The second album by Sergio and crew – and a real push forward for the group!

Vinicius De Moraes with Toquinho & Marilia Medalha

Como Dizia O Poeta
RGE (Brazil), 1971. Very Good-
