Carmen Costa - A Grande Dama da Musica Brasileira (1981)

Since yesterday's last release, Wilson Simonal - A Nova Dimensao do Samba (1964), a new approach to transfer vinyl to digital format was adopted, nothing great, but just a better combination among the resources available. I believe we have major improvements, something was happening, the transfers were producing an over amplified output, generating distortion in some cases. Thanks to everyone who collaborated, so I could find the best option.

This album is kind of challenge, since it was found on a very bad shape, almost ready to be placed in the garbage. I believe the result is indeed surprising. I need your feedback on this one, please use the comment section to send thoughts, so I will no better if we got better. Additionally, this is a Carmen Costa career LP and they are very hard to find. Let's see.

This is Carmen Costa - A Grande Dama da Musica Brasileira (1981), for Continental, a little session, with only 30 minutes running time and ten songs, but a really great album with Carmen Costa backed up by great musicians, including Octavio Burnier, Paulinho Braga, J.T. Meirelles, Ed Maciel, Jamil Joanes, Mauricio Einhorn, among many others. Tracks include:
