Hello, good morning! My sleeping strategy is completely destabilized this week. I’m working on something that requires an above the average dedication and thinking and as the last activity of my agenda, I’m completely exhausted at Loronix time. Some kind of tractor ray drags me to bed every night. I will try to use a slot during the day to update Loronix and get in touch with the community. Stay tuned, new posts can appear on not usual times this week.This is the post I’ve been trying to accomplish since Sunday, a response to an increasing demand for authentic Bossa Nova music from the 60’s. Elenco Premiere is the 6th album released by Aloysio de Oliveira legendary Elenco Label as ME-6, a wonderful compilation with tracks taken from the first five Elenco albums, released as ME-1 until ME-5. Let’s see.
This is Elenco Premiere (1963), for Elenco, featuring tracks from the first five Elenco records, Odette Lara & Vinicius de Moraes – Vinicius & Odette Lara (1963) as ME-1, Lucio Alves – Balancamba (1963) as ME-2, Roberto Menescal – A Bossa Nova de Roberto Menescal e Seu Conjunto (1963), as ME-3, Baden Powell – Baden Powell Swings with Jimmy Pratt (1963), as ME-4 and Sylvia Telles – Bossa, Balanco, Balada (1963), as ME-5. Elenco Premier is ME-6, the last 1963 release. These albums covers are amazing and were designed by Cesar Villela, and they have something in common. Who can tell me what it is? Tracks include:
01 - Deixa05 - Só Por Amor
08 - Berimbau
11 - Hoje Só
03 - Dan-cha-cha07 - Balançamba
06 - Garota de Ipanema12 - Desafinado
04 - Menequim 4610 - Deve Ser Amor
02 - Sol da Meia-noite09 - Rio
Good Morning to Brazil!
ReplyDeleteThe things all album covers have in common are the four red balls and the black and white work out.
I hope I didn´t fail to notice anything else. By the way: you are running a great blog there!
Compliments and Best Wishes, EsQuiMau from Austria

ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog, I am flabbergasted by the amount of quality content - keep up the good work!
Great! I never thought someone would make a digital version of this album.
ReplyDeleteThe three red bullets like the one in Elenco's logo are what the covers have in common, of course.
Obrigado
