Os Velhinhos Transviados - Embalados (1965)

Jamil is a really good friend, he understood I was busy and in the same second sent to us this album. Jamil was not alone; he had the help of Chubb, which is someone that I don't know. Jamil made the music and Chubb the cover scans. Jamil is a big fan of Os Velhinhos Transviados, he says that every fan likes to see their favorite artists at Loronix. Thanks Jamil and thanks Chubb.

This is Os Velhinhos Transviados - Embalados (1965), for RCA Victor. This band was very popular in the 60's, with many recording released throughout the decade.
