Os 7 Velhinhos - Os 7 Velhinhos (1961)

I have been thinking about making this post for a long time, but it has been postponed due an issue. I decided today to show it to Loronixers. It was silly of mine to keep it here; the best way to get help is addressing the great Loronix community. Perhaps a easy question, Os 7 Velhinhos, Os Velhinhos Sensacionais and Os Velhinhos Transviados the same group? Anyway, while the answer does not come it is better to show you Os 7 Velhinhos.

This is Os 7 Velhinhos - Os 7 Velhinhos (1961), for Musidisc. We are used to see nice Musidisc cover and they we have this very simple, but effective one. This is the first out of three LPs released by Os Sete Velhinhos, three Musidisc LPs. At a first sight you might think it is another instrumental group from the 60's, but there is something different with Os 7 Velhinhos, is an ensemble of top-notch musicians, as you can check with personnel listing, just before tracks. Tracks include:

Personnel
Maestro Carioca
