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.

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:
