pressed on140 gram heavyweight vinyl lp

you should all know by now i have collected a good few records in my time, hunting down that perfect beat. in search of that special piece i have found a deep love for the old soul ballads and funk that were for me great social statements, telling it just how it was. growing up with these tunes and owning them i began to realise if someone didn�t represent them to the next generation they would be long lost and forgotten. so please... enjoy this time capsule of music from another time... you�ll hear nothing�s changed! - mr. g, 2018

a legendary album! this previously unreleased album by os mutantes was supposed to be their breakthrough album to an english speaking market � but for years it�s only been talked about in hushed whispers, and has only been heard by a lucky few! the record was recorded in paris in 1970 � and it�s all in english! (not that we�re biased against portuguese, mind you � but since we�re english speakers, it�s kind of a nice thing to have a record that we can understand!) the record features a number of tunes from the mutantes first two albums � redone here with translated lyrics, and in a compressed pop style that�s a bit smoother than the original albums, but still very nice! in fact, the record�s a sophisticated pop statement that would have stood well in the company of many of the best of 1970s rock elite � had the boneheads at philips actually decided to release the record! no use crying over spilled milk, though � because the album�s out now, and it�s filled with loads of nice tracks like -panis et circensis-, -batmacumba-, -tecnicolor-, -el justiciero-, -i�m sorry baby-, -saravah-, and a sublime reading of -baby-, a track that was virtually the manifesto for tropicalia!
