This image is a general representation of the item and the actual product may differ slightly in terms of color shading, logo placement, borders, or other small details. Used items may have various cosmetic differences as well.
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.
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.
A cool change for the Zimbo Trio – one that has them adding in extra strings to their core bossa jazz style, for a sound that's completely sublime all the way through! The group's grooves are still very much in place, but the added strings really help shade in the tunes with a new sort of ... LP, Vinyl record album
An early record that really links Chico Buarque to the European scene – an audience that would keep Chico's music strong for many years, and with a reach that went far beyond some of his contemporaries! The set was recorded in Italy, but with all the charm and sparkle of his classic ... LP, Vinyl record album
A sweet 70s set from the amazing Zimbo Trio – a record that really has them stretching out with a much more complicated vibe than the bossa years – mixing in some elements of 70s Brazilian fusion, as they work with an expanded group that includes Hector Costita on sax, and Heraldo Do ... LP, Vinyl record album
A Brazilian singer with a hell of a voice – the lovely Helena De Lima, whose vocal range really fits the lush moods of the tunes on the set! Things are in a more melancholy look than you'd guess from Helena's look on the cover – a nice sort of blueness that's never too overdone, and ... LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label pressing with deep groove, without plastic outer sleeve. Cover has light wear and aging, faded at the top seam and spine, and with wide clear tape at the spine with some tears underneath in back.)LP, Vinyl record album
A live and lively little bossa vocal set – recorded at the Cangaceiro nightclub, with backing by a really great small combo! The style here is similar to other live bossa jazz sets from the time – such as Elis Regina's classic with the Zimbo Trio – and although Helena's vocal ... LP, Vinyl record album
Nice tribute to the genius of Roberto Menescal and Ronaldo Boscoli – performed by Maysa, Agostinho dos Santos, Wanda Sa, Manfredo Fest Trio, Os 6 Em Ponto, Sansa Trio, Os Bossais, Maricene Costa, Sambossa 5, and Jose Tobias. LP, Vinyl record album
One of the more soul-oriented albums of the Brazilian 70s TV soundtrack genre – a great mix of tracks with a strong R&B groove – and plenty of subtle funky moments! The set's way groovier than the simple bikini-clad image on the cover – and is filled with a number of really ... LP, Vinyl record album
Very groovy! This is one of a few excellent albums made by the team of Jaime Alem and Nair during the 70s – and although the set's a tribute to the compositions of Dorival Caymmi, Jaime & Nair take the tunes and make them their own through some excellent jazzy backings. The arrangements ... LP, Vinyl record album
