Helena de Lima - Dentro da Noite (1956) 10-inch

I know this album was released first in other places, recently made available at Green Eyed Lady, which celebrates today her 100,000 visitors milestone, and perhaps you already have this important album in your collection. However, I think he also belongs to Loronix, and I put all my resources available to pick up a very nice vinyl and make the transfer with attention. Anyway, consider it an upgrade if you already have your copy and take it as a must have if it is the first time you are being introduced to it. Let's see.

This is Helena de Lima - Dentro da Noite (1956), for Continental, 10-inch, the first album by the Brazilian singer Helena de Lima, backed up by the piano of Ribamar. Dentro da Noite also brings the first recording of a very early composition of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Newton Mendonca, 05 - Foi a Noite. Do not miss this beautiful album. Tracks include:

01 - Antigamente (Vadico / Jarbas Melo)
02 - Abandonado (Esdras Pereira da Silva / Ribamar (1) / Walter Barros)
03 - Renúncia (Marino Pinto)
04 - Não Há de Que (Helena de Lima / Marino Pinto / Mário Rossi)
05 - Foi a Noite (Tom Jobim / Newton Mendonça)
06 - E Nada Mais (César Siqueira / Maria Rita)
07 - Foi Você (Marino Pinto / Paulo Soledade)
08 - Revolta (Vadico / Marino Pinto)



Additional info: I forgot to say that Bossa Brasileira was the first website to make this album available for Brazilian music fans last year. Bossa Brasileira is owned and maintained by Thiago Mello that delivers professional reviews in English and Portuguese. I recommend and urge Loronixers to read Thiago's review on Helena de Lima and the solid Brazilian music selection available at Bossa Brasileira, http://bossa-brasileira.blogspot.com.
