Elis Regina - Elis Especial (1968)

Hello, good evening! I'm ill, but fine. It is 2 a.m. right now and I slept the last 6 hours, nice sleeping, I feel like waking up in the morning. I took a glass of milk and came to see what's happening with Loronix. I wish I got sick more often, yesterday, we had a really solid day with several new visits above Loronix average. This community is really amazing and keeps growing every time. That's why I decided to make this unique post as homage to our community. I cannot research this album and I need to be straightforward, but Elis Regina is self-explanatory and it has been a very long time since we made one of her career LPs. Let's see.

This is Elis Regina - Elis Especial (1978), for Philips, featuring arrangements by Maestro Erlon Chaves and some anthological Elis Regina cuts, such like track 09 - Upa Neguinho. Perhaps tomorrow I can be 100% to spend a nice evening with you. Tracks include:

01 - Samba do Perdão (Baden Powell / Paulo César Pinheiro)
02 - "Tributo a Tom Jobim" Vou Te Contar (Tom Jobim) Fotografia (Tom Jobim) Outra Vez (Tom Jobim) Vou Te Contar (Tom Jobim)
03 - De Onde Vens (Dori Caymmi / Nelson Motta)
04 - Bom Tempo (Chico Buarque)
05 - Da Cor do Pecado (Bororó)
06 - Corrida de Jangada (Edu Lobo / Capinan)
07 - Carta ao Mar (Roberto Menescal / Ronaldo Bôscoli)
08 - Vira-mundo (Gilberto Gil / Capinan)
09 - Upa Neguinho (Edu Lobo / Gianfrancesco Guarnieri)
10 - "Tributo à Mangueira" Mangueira (Assis Valente / Zequinha Reis) Fala Mangueira (Mirabeau / Milton de Oliveira) Exaltação à Mangueira (Enéas Brites da Silva / Aloísio Augusto da Costa) Levanta Mangueira (Luis Antônio) Despedida de Mangueira (Aldo Cabral / Benedito Lacerda) Pra Machucar Meu Coração (Ary Barroso)

Another coincidence - I recently got a copy of the 1982 repressing of this LP. The back cover lacks a photograph but contains notes about the recording sessions by Elis.

In any case, it's a fantastic album. I especially like the Jobim medley and the version of Corrida de Jangada.

Dear Zeca,
Thanks for this great release!

You have an inconsistent dates on your description:
>This is Elis Regina - Elis Especial (1978)
...
>Elis Regina - Elis Especial (1968)

The true date, I believe is 1968.
