Lua De Mel Como O Diabo Gosta

LP (Item 9774) RCA (Brazil), 1987 — Condition: Very Good+
One of Gal Costa's mellow mainstream sides from the 80s – hardly the sort of work you might have imagined during the heady Tropicalia years, yet still very much the top of the heap for MPB at the time! Gal's got a new sort of sophistication here – a depth that really comes through on the ballads, in ways that remind us of late 70s work from Elis Regina – and although the instrumentation is heavy on keyboards, it's still got a pretty nice feel overall – never too clunky or commercial. Arrangements are by Lincoln Olivetti, Ricardo Cristaldi, Djavan, and Guto Graca Mello – who produced the set – and titles include a nice version of Joyce's "Todos Os Instrumentos", plus "Tenda", "Arara", "Me Faz Bem", "O Vento", and a Brazilian version of "Here, There, & Everywhere", entitled "Viver E Reviver".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light wear, yellowed clear tape holding the corners on the right, and is bent a bit at the edges and front panel.)

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.

Philips (Brazil), 1970s/Early 1980s. Very Good+
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.

Profana
RCA (Brazil), 1984. Near Mint-
A warmly jazzy album from Gal Costa – much more so than you'd expect from her slightly creepy white face on the cover!
