Walter Wanderley - Walter Wanderley Set: When it Was Done (1968)

This Walter Wanderley Set - When it Was Done (1968) LP is only available due the great help I had from Cesar Saldanha. Cesar had a lot of work to gather, scan and finalize the cover artwork that I had no hope to find on good quality.

Begining with this "formal" cover, this Walter Wanderley LP is pretty different from the ones you are used to hear, it has a more sophisticated production with arrangements by Eumir Deodato and Don Sebesky. In spite of it, what makes this LP really unique is the participation of the Brazilian singer Milton Nascimento on the opening track, Open Your Arms (Let me Walk Right In). There is also a nice version of Antonio Carlos Jobim Surfboard that itself makes the entire record worthwhile. Tracks include:

Sorry, just forgot to say that Anamaria Valle is sharing vocals with Marilyn Jackson e Linda November.
