Maestro Carioca e Sua Orquestra - Samba Oba! (196?)

This seems to be a reissue of an LP that probably introduces a new kind of recording technology and cover artwork design. well. I never heard about that before, but at linear notes it is explained that Maestro Carioca e Sua Orquestra - Samba Oba! (196?) is part of "Serie Percussônica Imperial". Do not ask me what exactly it is in terms of recording technology, but as artwork design, the linear notes statement says that the cover represents a new age "A Era Spacial da Musica".

I was not born in the 50's and early 60's, but how wonderful it would be living in Brazil in these decades. Sometimes we miss what we never had experienced.
