Walter Wanderley - Samba So! (1965)

There are some curiosities that zecalouro would like to say about this 1965 Walter Wanderley LP, Samba So, which has a coverart picture that became one of the most famous Walter Wanderley pictures worldwide. This is the kind of record that was born in 1965, but was modified on further releases.

The first release by Fermata - the artwork is available below this paragraph - did not credited Walter Wanderley due his contract obligations with Philips. All tracks starts with the word Samba.

Then, "Samba So" was released by World Pacific with the opening cover artwork of this post, later on another release gave the name "Walter Wanderley... ... é Samba" and the final CD reissue, "Samba!". The line up is: Walter Wanderley (Organ), Azeitona (Bass), Arrudinha (Drums), Heraldo do Monte (Guitar), Bolão (Sax, Flute), Corisco (Pandeiro) e Radamanto (Agogô). Tracks include:

01 - Samba do Avião (Tom Jobim)
