As Vedetes - As Vedetes (1964)

We have another Nilser release, subsidiary of Nilo Sergio's Musidisc. It is easy to recognize a Nilser LP, the cover is always on a light brown color, with a very thin cross pattern. The typeface used is always the same, based on serif with strong brow color. However, what amazes me most at Nilser releases is the lack of information available, always minimum.

The last Nilser release was truly amazing, The Bossa Nova Modern Quartet - Bossa Nova Jazz Samba (1963). After a month or two, several issues remain with no answer.

At our own risk, let’s give Nilser another try with As Vedetes - As Vedetes (1964), a female vocal group, some kind of Quarteto em Cy wannabee. It is not necessary to say further information about As Vedetes and this release is really appreciated. Tracks include:
