This is the first out of a series of contributions from a real friend with a real name, Meia Beats, musician (piano), producer, living in Brazil South, city of Caxias do Sul. Meia Beats starts with a widely unknown Walter Wanderley LP released in Brazil by Philips. I have been hunting this album for months with no information about, never seeing this cover artwork also. Thanks for this really hard to find Walter Wanderley album. You can meet Meia Beats at his website, here.
This is Walter Wanderley - Sucessos + Boleros = Walter Wanderley (1966), for Philips. Perhaps this is the last Walter Wanderley release in Brazil before moving to US for releasing his first international album with Astrud Gilberto. Sucessos + Boleros = Walter Wanderley repeats the formula used at Walter Wanderley - Walter Wanderley e o Bolero (1962), for Odeon and it is one of the most dark and shady Walter Wanderley albums I have ever heard, an item for completionists, we are many. Tracks include:
01 - Que C'est Triste Venise (Dorin / Charles Aznavour) Ma Vie (Alain Barrière)
02 - Oferenda (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia) Sentimental Demais (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia)
03 - Il Mondo (Fontana / Meccia / Pess)
04 - Amor Eterno (Édson Borges / Alfredo Borba) O Preço de Uma Vida (Erlon Chaves)
05 - Charade (Mercer / Henry Mancini) Just For Tonight (H. Carmichael / Mercer)
06 - Forget Domani (R. Ortolani / N. Newell)
07 - Red Roses For a Blue Lady (Tepper / Brodsky)
08 - Aquellos Ojos Verdes (N. Menendez) Maria Helena (Barcelata)
09 - Preciso Aprender a Ser Só (Marcos Valle / Paulo Sergio Valle) La Barca (Roberto Cantoral)
10 - Irremediablemente (Máximo Casanova)
11 - Flor de Lys (Agustin Lara) O Cigano (Marcelo Tupinambá / João do Sul)
12 - Tudo de Mim (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia) Maldito (Jair Amorim / Evaldo Gouveia)
