Shrdlu Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks, Michel. That is a good list. Mundo's price for "Pais Tropical" and "Primal Roots" is a little better: $19.00 plus postage. I assume that Early Records (Hiroshi Tanno) would have a good price, too. The Japanese Mendes CDs have a very intimidating boast about something called "rubidium atomic clock" laser mastering. I am very impressed! Seriously, though, they do sound very realistic, and I wish that whoever did these could do all the other CDs that we buy. Imagine the BN catalog, if it were done by that person. After a few evenings listening to these, I am like the cat that got the cream. For me, the music comes first, then the engineering, but a good CD reissue enables me to enjoy an album much more, and even to like some albums that I did not really like until I heard a good copy. "Look Around" is an example. The U.S. version, which was sent to me as a gift by a friend, sounds very drab, and the Japanese CD is way better. Quote
michel devos Posted October 28, 2003 Report Posted October 28, 2003 I was pleased to come across a 2 CD compilation from 1997 called "The Very Best Of S.M. and Brasil 66". This has been released in the U.K. and also in Europe, I think. It is available from U.S. suppliers as an import. Could you please give the cd reference...I was unable to track it here...T hks Quote
Shrdlu Posted October 28, 2003 Author Report Posted October 28, 2003 Michel, this is the set that this thread began with. One place where you can get it is the U.K. HMV website http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...1;-1&sku=878241 Le voix de son maître! Quote

seeline Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) About the spelling, etc. - Jorge Ben (now Jorge Ben Jor) wrote the song, and it's Mas que nada. You can see sheet music and lyrics (with correct spelling) on his site, here: http://www.jorgeben.com.br/sec_cifras.php?id=20 It was originally issued on his 1st LP, Samba esquema novo (1963, Universal Brasil) here are the lyrics - again, from Jorge's site - O ariá raió Obá obá obá Mas que nada Sai da minha frente Eu quero passar Pois o samba está animado O que eu quero é sambar Esse samba Que é misto de maracatu É samba de preto velho Samba de preto tú Mas que nada Um samba como este tão legal Você não vai querer Que eu chegue no final O ariá raió Obá obá obá Edited July 3, 2010 by seeline Quote
Shrdlu Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Posted July 18, 2010 And, as Raymond Huntley said in a Peter Sellers movie, I trust that that clarifies the matter. Quote
