Loronix and Jornal Musical Need Your Help

Loronix and Jornal Musical are joining forces to ask for your participation on a mission that only a community like Loronix can accomplish: the search for the cover artwork of the first 10-inch recorded by the Brazilian musician Altamiro Carrilho, his first LP, Altamiro Carrilho - Altamirro Carrilho e Sua Flauta Azul (1957), Continental LPP 44, one of the rarest Brazilian records ever, a missing piece even on the personal Altamiro Carrilho collection.

We are not starting the search today, we have been on field for more than a few months in collaboration with International Restored LP blog, which I want to send my regards for finding the music and making it available to Loronix and Jornal Musical. Through the courtesy of International Restored LP, this is the music, no Rapidshare, here.

However, we could not find the cover artwork and this is why we are looking for the help of our community. The first who sends an email to zecalouro@gmail.com with high quality scans of front and back cover will be receiving a CD-ROM with Jornal Musical Brazilian Discography, one of the most complete Brazilian music discographies available on the web. Loronix will also be giving a LP from the personal zecalouro collection, Eliana Pittman & Trio 3D - Ao Vivo (1968), Copacabana CLP 11528, with an autograph by Eliana Pittman.

This is the deal we have with the Loronix community: the first one who sends an email to zecalouro with front and back cover scans will be receiving both prices available on this post pictures.

Jornal Musical is part of The Brazilian Musical Memory Institute (IMMUB), a non-profit organization, created in 2006, for the express purpose of researching and disseminating Brazilian music, as well as promoting the development of cultural and socio-educational projects within this context. I strongly recommend your visit to Jornal Musical.
