Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[WithBongInHand]

Real pumped for this pickup. First ever vinyl pressing.

Good to see some other Brazil heads here. I just ordered the book, The Brazilian Sound: Samba, Bossa Nova, and the Popular Music of Brazil. I recommend any of the Tres Selos / Rociante pressings. It’s the Acoustic Sounds of Brazilian labels in my mind.

@68degreesorless never heard of this but love the vibe of what ive listened to so far

[68degreesorless]

It’s good stuff. Early 80s jazz record. Later career Milton Banana Trio paying tribute to his pal Tom Jobim. Not much improvisation or soloing but fun, punchy little numbers and Milton is a great drummer.

João Donato, 1973. This one grows on you.

@GraemeE 35 songs on a triple LP and over 150 minutes of music. He curated it by himself and called it his (first) Decade.
Another five decades later, it is still a good compilation.
But I prefer the eight original releases, even when I’ve to skip from time to time.

@Aetas this copy my wife and I bought on our honeymoon 20 years ago

We ended up deciding to cut our trip through the California redwoods 2 days short so we could use the money we intended to use for hotels and food to buy a bunch of records

@GraemeE

[GraemeE]

@68degreesorless for the record we BOTH agreed on that

Even at that age I wasn't stupid enough to make that decision unilaterally

[Aetas]

@GraemeE Well done, a wise decision.

And if I haven’t said it in here …
You send me the ‘Box of Rain’ at a time it was most needed and appreciated.
But it took me a while to find out about it’s pertinence.
