Loki (180 gram pressing) ... LP 
Polygram/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Jorge Ben —
Tabua De Esmeralda (180 gram vinyl) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Searing samba soul from Jorge Ben – one of his best-remembered albums of the 70s, and for good reason too! The album's got a slightly fuller feel than some of Ben's other work of the time – never slick, but with backings balanced nicely against his own raspy vocals and acoustic guitar ...

Discos Continental/Polysom (Brazil), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
A bit of an oddball record from Walter Franco, and one we've really come to love over the years! Franco's clearly going for an experimental rock sound here – and while the hard jamming kind of works at odds against that at times, at others, the whole thing gels together nicely in a blend of ...

Gilberto Gil —
Gilberto Gil (1969) (180 gram pressing) ... LP Philips/Polysom (Brazil), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
The rare 3rd album by Gilberto Gil, and a key piece of the Tropicalia puzzle – one of the most wildly experimental albums from those years, and Gil's last before going into exile!

Fantastic work by this underdiscovered Brazilian talent!

Giro ... LP Polysom (Brazil), 2019. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
