Marcos Valle Samba 68

The only album released on the Verve label by prolific Brazilian singer Marcos Valle, Samba '68 has him recording his Brazilian hits in English in order to capitalize on the then-huge Getz-Gilberto- Jobim-Mendes-Astrud market. Marcos' rapid and stunning artistic growth is apparent on this Bossa Nova classic. Fans of Sérgio Mendes and Astrud Gilberto (both of whom recorded tons of Valle's tunes) will enjoy it immensely, for Samba '68, with brilliant arrangements by Eumir Deodato, is definitely one of the ultimate "loungy" records. 180-GRAM HIGH QUALITY VIRGIN VINYL.
