This LP is a missing piece even to long time Bossa Nova collectors, really. I cannot count how many times Os Cariocas - Os Cariocas de Quatrocentas Bossas (1965), for Philips, was requested, but I'm sure that many friends were waiting for this release.Os Cariocas de 400 Bossas is an important milestone to Os Cariocas career, being the first LP to have a great acceptance by the public and media. I'm not sure of what the four hundred means, but it seems to be a reference of the 400th anniversary of Rio de Janeiro City. I will do my best being a good bird and I hope to see the 500th anniversary of this amazing city with the age of 100 years old. Tracks include:
PS.: This cover is outstanding, simple and efficient. Philips is gradually taking my preference on cover artworks, the last Quinteto Violado release also had a nice Philips cover.

Amazing... I thought I already had this LP, but I have an LP called "Introducing Os Cariocas", which has an identical front cover, except for the words in the title. For some reason, I always thought this had the same songs as "Quatrocentas Bossas", but I was wrong. I'm a big fan of the 60's version of the group, so this is a very nice surprise to hear this LP for the first time!
Jim R,
